Dear Amelia,
Do you remember that day nine years ago when you just wouldn't cooperate? When you pulled out every stop in the book just to stay in bed a little longer. To spite the pitocin, epidural and even morphine (yes, morphine!), I remember it well. Somehow, foolishly, I though that I gave you life that day. Oh, how wrong I was! The gifts that were given were all to me. Thank you for sharing your life with me every day. I was blessed beyond words when your life became intwined with mine.
From shallowness and fog
you came masterfully
Shocking my humility
divine beauty
warmly charged love

ReplyDeleteI remember at Eli & Mary Beth' Wedding reception when when I was escorting Great Grandma Northen. When Ameila came to say goodnight, she told me good night great Grandpa. You turned so red in the face, everyone else including me just laughed.
I like the lover of joy photo

That's so funny, I had forgotten all about that comment. One of many things my children have said to make me blush. The joy pic has always been a favorite of mine too.
