daughters.....

From the moment they first handed her to me,

I was in complete awe.

God had granted my prayer

and given me a little girl.

Never

 in a million years 

could I have imagined the joy 

she would bring.

We are so close, but live miles apart.

We talk most every day,

We chat about 

the boys

 and her jobs 

and the wonderful place she calls home.

She always has at least one funny story to relay.

She is a counselor to me.

When I am troubled she always has the right words.

She never fails to admonish when that is needed.

She is an encourager,

my cheerleader,

my friend.

She has made me cry,

and she has made me laugh my head off.

She is funny.

She notices things.

(I love people who notice things.)

That is very important.

She shares beautiful music,

and dance moves,

and words of wisdom.

She is caring and loving.

She is a wife and mother now.

She thrives in her roles.

I love you Amanda.

Thank you for all the ways you care for me.

I thank God for you!
