Dear Annessa,
There is nothing I love more than being your mom. Nothing. I wish I could explain to you how happy you make me. You put everything into perspective - work, family, every little stress seems so little when I am focused on you.
Tonight we read Olivia in bed - you had the little Olivia finger puppet and I had the mama one. You laughed and giggled as we made our fingers dance to the rhythm of the words. I knew right then that this was the best part of my day. I looked at you extra hard, listened extra hard. Trying to bottle the memory in my mind.
The beauty of being a mom is in the little things - reading to you, seeing you make a new friend, listening to you rattle off the people you know in your prayers...These are the moments I live for. The moments I treasure. Thank you for giving my life depth.
I love you.
Mama

Oh Autumn, this brought tears to my eyes... What beautiful words to share with your daughter. She is going to treasure this someday when she is old enough to understand. I love the name of your blog, wonderful!!
