From the tiniest of beginnings to the most wonderful five year old girl!
Once upon a time I sat beside machines, praying for strength i never imagined us both needing so much of. There were moments I didn’t know what tomorrow would look like, or if it would even come with her in it. But i always knew that I’d never stop fighting with her.
In 5 years of life she’s faced such unimaginable things sometimes over and over again yet she’s still the happiest, lightest, kindest little soul. Shes survived things that nearly broke me to just watch and I’ll never stop being in awe of her.
To think this is the same baby girl. The same brave heart. A thousand silent battles, pokes, prods, tubes, and wires are hidden behind her big infectious smile. She was a miracle long before she ever knew what one was. And every single day with her since has been a gift I’ll never take for granted.
She is the most beautifully bright outcome of a story that could have gone so many ways, so many different times. She is my greatest victory, my sweetest blessing.
“You’re my dream come true,” I tell her most nights st bedtime.
“You’re my dream come true too mom!” she says back.
But she has no idea the depth of what I mean.
How blessed I feel to be her mother.
How blessed I feel to have had five years of her, and how seriously I take my roll as being her mama.
I hope five is good to my sweet girl.
I hope its her healthiest year yet❤️
