I didn't really realize it had been so long since I've visited here. It's been a busy month around these parts.
I have been enormously blessed with two beautiful daughters. Now, I'm not going to lie and tell you that each and every day was a beautiful day...it hasn't been. Nonetheless, I am truly blessed. I don't know what I did right that God saw fit to permit me the single most important job of a woman's life, but I'm sure glad He knew I could muddle through, somehow.
My oldest gift was 23 on the 12th; my youngest gift, 21 on the 20th. I strategically planned a St. Patty's Day birth, but missed on both accounts. The oldest decided it was necessary to arrive 3 weeks early.....that's the very last time she's been early for anything!!! Late is her middle name. The youngest, fashionably arrived on the anticipated due date. To this day, she is on time for everything. Both girls are blessed with strengths and weaknesses, as we all are. I love all of their traits unconditionally. The oldest is coming into her own, finding her way; trying to exercise those responsibilities that are bestowed on the #1 child. The youngest, well...she's just as special as #1

...motherhood cannot be described....it must be experienced for a woman to "get it"....another "uncanny"....both yours born in the same month and one on her due date....mine too - both in November and one on his due date....LLJ
