I never imagined having such overwhelming love for someone I had just met.
The way I felt in our room all alone that night, watching her sleep, wondering how she could really be mine.
How her first smile lit up the universe. How my heart broke when she cried.
Holding her hand as she learned to walk, watching her grow, wanting to stop time, just a little.
Her pride in each achievement, her sharing them with me.
How every day is brighter simply because she is in it.
She says, “Mummy, I love you,” and they are the most wonderful words in the world.
My greatest joy.
I hope you have a beautiful Mother’s Day with yours.
