Goodnight my angel

Fifteen years ago today, I was spending my first night as a mother. Much like tonight, I couldn't sleep. I had this new, beautiful, tiny new life to take care of. Savannah was a gorgeous newborn and I couldn't stop looking at her, in awe that I actually made such a perfect little person.

I don't know how to best explain the love a mother has for her child, it's almost unexplainable at times. You're heart truly beats for this other person and the love you feel crosses all boundaries. Savannah being my firstborn, taught me so much about life, love and sacrifice. I truly grew up just days after my twenty first birthday. From that moment, when I first found out I was pregnant, every choice I made, now revolved around her.

Tonight, even though my baby is now hundreds of miles away, her momma is still up, thinking about her, loving her and thanking God for bringing her into this world.

I love you. I miss you. I wish you were here.

Happy Birthday my sweet baby girl.
