10 years

I kept thinking about what to write in this post and all the things that come to mind seem to make me cry.. especially with post-pregnancy hormones on board. But, I think the one thing I keep thinking of these past days/weeks is the fact that I am so incredibly blessed to have a daughter. My mom got to have three of us girls and it seems that anything that was the same for her, makes me feel closer to her.

Mom, me, and Christie
It is incredibly hard to believe she has been gone for a whole 10 years... a whole decade. My whole 20's I haven't had her here. But, as I look into Nola's face I feel like I get to do something she did. I will get to experience a mother-daughter bond and I pray I am half as good at raising girls as she was.




I still miss her like crazy and wish she was here to snuggle my babies.
