The Baby Shower

How time flies. Kennedy is due in little more than a month. Precious Daughter will no longer be her exclusive title, but to it she will add Beautiful Mother.

Where has the time gone, and how ever did it go so quickly.

For any momma who has had to let a child go you can relate to the emotions that are forever swirling, from elation, excitement, pride, and unconditional love - to fear, sorrow, loneliness, and despair.

Letting my Daughter go has proven to be one of my most difficult transitions to date. I love her so, and while I want more than anything for her to fly into her bright future, I can't help but want to smother her tight, right here next to me for eternity.

Oh the joys and heartbreaks of Motherhood. I respectfully disagree with anyone who says childbirth is the most painful event of their lives. Letting your child go far surpasses that pain, and if I could trade one for the other, I would.

I love my girl beyond measure, and no matter her age, her marital status, or the number of grandchildren she gives me, she will forever be my baby.
