A Promise for my Daughter

Since the moment she was born, I have always been in such awe of my little girl. I have only been her mommy for four short weeks and I love her so much, like I have loved her my whole life. I would do anything for this girl. Anything.

Emma was so upset over lunch and just would not calm down but after feeding she fell asleep so peacefully. I just held her and admiringly stared at her, telling myself how lucky I am to be her mom. All she needed was for me to hold her close, stroke her cheek and care for her. It then got me to thinking about all the moments in her life that she will need me as she grows up and how I hope that I will be there for her, like my mom has been there for me. Not two hours later, I found this blog post that someone shared on Facebook and I just sobbed. Please take a moment to read it, especially if you are a mother to a daughter.


Emma,
I will come.
Tonight.
Tomorrow.
And the day after. And after.
And then some.

Our sweet girl earlier today after being so upset and eventually falling asleep.
