Four Years Ago on this Day...

Four years ago tonight, I was probably in the midst of my nesting frenzy as the birth of beautiful Liska was just beyond the horizon. I can't believe she is almost four and how much she has grown and blessed the lives of the people she encounters for even merely one second. I can't the number of of times - even when I get upset with her - that I see this tiny girl growing before my eyes and how God even chose me to be her mother (He must have some huge faith in me!!!). Of course, I think about my blessings with Hagen, but there is that bond between a mother and her first-born that can never be broken. Nothing can ever match it. Nothing can ever change how much I dearly, deeply and truly love my Liska.

Happy Birthday, my little girl. Mommy will always love you.
