Deep thoughts...

I can't express it accurately with words, or understand the depth of it, but when I look at Violet and see a direct reflection of her Daddy is makes my heart so warm. I know I'm fortunate to feel such love and gratitude for my whole family. Not everyone has a happy story. Even the struggles of maintaining a normal family life can get you down - may the Lord never let me forget how much He has blessed me. I don't know if there are anymore children in our future, but I feel so content and complete. We always said three, and I had always hoped for a daughter to go with my sons - and it actually happened. I think back to fond memories of being the only and youngest daughter, and how special all the girl time me and my mom shared. I think about how much I can't wait to bond with Violet and how lucky I am to have a little sweetheart. And back to my initial thought - that fact that she looks just like Andy reminds me of the special love that the Lord gave to him and I to share, and through that we have these beautiful children. They are a reflection of the love we share. Again, may the Lord protect us and keep that love safe that we grow together as a family founded in love and the Lord. Amen. <>< (that's for you Ma).
