Beautiful

Today I watched my daughter sleep.

It was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.

She looked so peaceful, laying in her crib...with no idea that I had quietly entered her room and was peering at her from above.  There she was, my precious miracle...a sight I had to almost pinch myself to believe.  It wasn't that long ago that I had dreamed of a day like today.  Praying that God would bless us with a little one.

And here she was...her little hands clenched loosely into fists, her little legs splayed out like those of a frog, her little cheeks warm and rosy...her chest rising and falling ever so slowly...relaxed, content.  It was beautiful and a moment I feel so blessed to have seen.

Rest well darling daughter.
