My Baby Is Growing Up....

tomorrow is a special day. my baby hannah, who is in the fourth grade, is running for student council. wow! where does time go? just yesterday i was rocking her in my arms and singing to her. just yesterday she was learning to sip from a sippie cup. just yesterday she was singing kikkle, kikkle, little star. and asking me to hold her. she used to be so shy. she would stand tucked around my legs if someone came up to her and spoke to her. now look at her. doesn't God know i want her to stay with me forever?
she drew posters and made bookmarks and even wrote a speech. she gives her speech tomorrow. she is very excited. this is right up her ally.
i am so excited for her. i am so proud of her. i am so proud to be her mommy. i look at her and know there is a God who full fills our dreams beyond anything we can ever hope or imagine. she is such a bright and shining star. my, how she shines. my heart is filled with all kinds of emotions when i look into her soft brown eyes. what a precious gift from God she is. no one ever tells you all the emotion that goes into to raising a child. the emotion that i feel for her could run the brightest moonbeam for centuries. make the sweetest hummingbird sing a song so sweet, it would soothe any ache.
all i can say is, wow. i love you baby "grill."
