Who I Love And Why
  
This is the one who gave the peacemaker her job :)
She wanted to come into the world in her own way, fighting with the
doctors for hours and hours. And just when they thought she would
co-operate and come according to the book, she'd go right back to
fighting for her own way to have the birth experience, SHE wanted to
have :)
She and the doctors were reading different manuals on how it should be done.
It took patience, perseverance, and a firm, but kind hand, a hand and
heart that was willing to take the time, to repeatedly ask, show, prod,
and tell, how it was going to be. And how she was going to come into
the world: The right way, the safe way, the way that was best for her.
What a patient doctor God bless him.
Of course, I wasn't just an
innocent bystander. I did my part. I worked at
pushing, breathing; resting, hoping, trusting, BEGGING, for her to
come, and to cooperate. Finally, many hours later and both of us
exhausted, I met her for the first time, on a cold beautiful, autumn
New England day. We barely said our howdy do's, when we both nodded off
into a deep spent sleep.
I laugh now, because not much has changed.
This daughter let me know from the womb, she was strong, and
independent and had a mind of her own.
It was and is, the reason I
love her. Her strength. Her creativity. Her exuberance. Her
independence. Her smile. She's smart. Doesn't miss a thing. Can't get
anything over her. Brutally honest, but honest :). If she wants to
learn something, she just doesn't want to know about it, she wants to
master it.
Beautiful. Fiercely devoted to her family. She's an
intricate part of us. We wouldn't be who we are, without her. We need
her. Everyone can depend on her to do what we cant :)
I love her so.
She loves languages, is learning Japanese all on her own, and studying the culture.
She's an excellent artist, and has a passion for becoming an artist.
Gymnastics is also a love, and a sport that gives her the physical and
mental challenge that she needs, and wants.
I am fortunate to be the mother, of such a talented, beautiful, devoted daughter.
She loves me mightily, she loves her family. Whether they are absent or
present. And hopes silently, that her little girls dreams, of
family, home and goals, will be something she can firmly and forever
hold onto.
