Forever changed...

Three years ago today in a tiny hot room off the lobby of the Westin Hotel in Guatemala City I held my daughter for the first time.  I won't say it's the day I became a Mom, because I was a Mom in my heart long before that moment, but it is a moment that I will never forget.  She is my heart, she is my joy, she is my light, and my laughter... I love you sweet girl!!  I'm so blessed to be your Mommy!

Look at my little peanut!!  That was back when I wore jewelry.

It was such a blessing my parents were able to make the trip with me...

I have some pictures from this weekend & today I want to post as a 'then & now', (including a most unflattering self-portrait), but it will have to wait as my computer is being absolutely hateful, so you'll have to wait for part II...

I remember seeing these photos when you posted them on the forum. I connected with you as a fellow single mom.

I too remember the days when getting ready included jewelry. Now I'm lucky to get out the door with clothes on ;-)

I really get your statement, "I won't say it's the day I became a Mom, because I was a Mom in my heart long before that moment...." Because I was an older mother, I felt the same way. Ah, that we had more "Moms" in the world, whether or not they have given birth to children!

She's growing up! Watch out!
