A friend said that raising a child is the greatest privilege she's ever had. I had never heard someone put it that way, but today, as my first child was born and as I held her in my arms while she slept, I thought a lot about it. I like it. It
is a privilege. A whole person will look at you forever as "Mom" or "Dad" -- what an awe-inspiring feeling.
“There are two lasting bequests we can give our children.
One is roots. The other is wings.”
- Hodding Carter, Jr.
I can already hear myself saying... "I remember when I used to hold you in my arms and you were so small..."
I love this little girl. Welcome Grace.
