My first Mother's Day

 Dearest Saylor, you made me a mommy. 

What a joy it is. You look at me and I know you know just who I am. When you smile at me, your eyes light up. I can't wait to hear 'mama' come out of your mouth. Those sweet little words, as you confirm, I am indeed your 'mama.' I can't wait to watch you grow. I can't wait to teach you. I can't wait to share in your joys. 

Becoming your mommy has been the greatest gift of my life. The day you were born, a mother was born. That was a day I will never forget. You were mine. I was your mommy. They placed you in my arms and I knew my heart would just explode. 

Having a daughter is like having a glimpse of heaven. A little girl, made in the image of God, given to a mother to provide for, to love, to cherish. What a blessing you are.

You are beautiful. You are loved. 

Thank you for making me a mommy. 

I will love you forever, my sweet girl.
