Birthday

This year's birthday is a significant one in that from now on I will live more of my life without having my mom being a part of it. It's been over half of my lifetime ago since she passed away. Also, it's my first birthday as a mom. It was exactly a year ago when I found out that we were pregnant. Kylie is the best birthday present I could have asked for. Experiencing this mother and daughter relationship is healing some of my emotional wound from the loss of my mom. All the love I have for my mom is somehow being merged into my love for my daughter and is being expressed in and poured into her life.
