I know that there is a before. With this post, I feel the weight of that more than ever. But when I her face for the first time I just knew this was the person that you get to be a mother to. This is the person who is your daughter. I felt that. I feel, somehow, through her eyes ... wow, through her open eyes and your open eyes, that she was yours and you were hers. I just felt this sense that the bond between you, the joy, all of the shared moments ... I just felt the sense of power in that. <br />It is beautiful to see this unfolding, to see her lovely spirit, to know that you have each other. You have captured this moment. In such a way, that she will feel forever loved and cherished and respected. That is powerful mothering. I love you two together.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02645745686195157198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7233227024562434538.post-30388190762454989442009-10-10T21:02:58.968-07:002009-10-10T21:02:58.968-07:00I love the last picture....as an outsider who hasn...I love the last picture....as an outsider who hasn't spent much time with Meazi, it seems that she already has blossomed from all of your love and she will soon know that she can trust and rely and there are no more "stops" :)Gabriellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10252131608288531059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7233227024562434538.post-25121052873831844232009-10-10T19:09:34.026-07:002009-10-10T19:09:34.026-07:00Thank you for blogging, Julie.
