MYKELA SOPHIA MESSINA MOORE
is 15 years old today
you are a graceful & kind young woman…
i am in awe of your patience & sweet disposition…
motherhood is a beautiful mystery…i sometimes feel as unsure
now as i did when i first held you in my arms…
yet you have someone become a teenager with such grace & poise,
you have made this part of mothering easier
than i am sure it is supposed to be
& for that i am oh so grateful…it is somehow still bittersweet
for as i see you grow & mature i realize i am
slowing saying goodbye to you as well…
that you will someday not live here seems
like the cruelest twist yet of
motherhood & yet
i know it is so…& although i will miss you
every step of the way, i will also
be so proud to watch you go…
take your time my sweet…
i love you more than you’ll ever know…
xoxo
HAPPY BEAUTIFUL BIRTHDAY
And Elizabeth, a beautiful tribute to her! Gorgeous!
