Now I Know

Dear Junie Girl:

For six months, I have wondered what you look like when you smile.

Now I know.

For six months, I have wanted to hear your voice.

Now I've heard.

For six months, I have longed to hear your giggle.

Now I have.

For six months, I have prayed to see hope in your eyes.

Now I have seen.

And all of these moments were more wonderful than I could have imagined.

Congratulations, Junie, on a big, big day. Mommy loves you.

    Of course there are tears on the other side of the world when reading this! Congratulations! Now, go get the girl some shoes....LOTS of them. (And don't tell David that I would suggest you shop and spend money....I need to stay on his good side!)
