My precious daughter

Daily Gratitude

Today I'm shining because I'm thankful for my Sarah girl:

• My daughter has imprinted me with indelible ink. She makes my heart sing a song that is only hers. And, like her sweet baby smell, it is especially assigned to her. 
• Like a photo negative, she and I are the same picture with different light. Where she shines, I sit in awe and wonder at her unique gifts. 
• As is with most mothers and daughters, we are complicated, convoluted, and changing. Through the years our relationship has taken on unanticipated hues and depths. All making for a rich tapestry that both of us can proudly claim as uniquely ours. 

"Your soul sings to mine. My soul is yours, and it always will be, in any world. No matter what happens. I need you to remember that I love you." ~Laini Taylor
