Tender Moments

Tonight I had the pleasure of having dinner with my wonderful husband and beautiful daughter, no not at home as hoped but in the Cafeteria of the hospital. What more could a girl ask for? I have been assured that I will go home tomorrow. As we were sitting there, Cambree doing her special show for us a song came on over the overhead that I hadn't heard for a while. It is truly one of my favorites and one that I associate with my daughter. I told her to listen to the song because it reminded me of her. As I listened to the words with her eyes smiling at me, tears began to well up in my eyes. I looked at my husband and tears were also welling up in his eyes. It was a special moment and a great reminder that no matter the ups and downs that our little family is asked to deal with we are so incredibly blessed that only tears of joy can explain. In My Daughter's Eyes In my daughter's eyes I am a hero I am strong and wise and I know no fear But the truth is plain to see She was sent to rescue me I see who I wanna be In my daughter's eyes In my daughter's eyes everyone is equal Darkness turns to light and theworld is at peace This miracle God gave to me gives me strength when I am weak I find reason to believe In my daughter's eyes And when she wraps her hand around my finger Oh it puts a smile in my heart Everything becomes a little clearer I realize what life is all about It's hangin' on when your heart has had enough It's giving more when you feel like giving up I've seen the light It's in my daugter's eyes In my daughter's eyes I can see the future A reflection of who I am and what will be Though she'll grow and someday leave Maybe raise a family When I'm gone I hope you see how happyshe made me For I'll be there In my daughter's eyes And as I read these words again the same emotions overwhelm me.

I have to tell ya Em, she has certainly made a lot of the darkness in my world turn to peace. I don't know where I would be without her. Thankyou so much for sharing her with me and letting her become one of my best friends!

Michelle said...

Em,
I never made it to the hospital because my daughter got croup and I didn't want to expose you to it. Can we meet up sometime soon though?

Lyndsay said...

I linked someone to your blog and her comment was "what a cute family!" I totally agree.

I am SOOOO glad that you are finally home!!! And Jake told me about the St george trip and how the house is not vacant! Dang it!!! But we must hang out again one way or another before summer comes to an end! You guys are the best!

BTW, my dad is home as well. He's doing a little better. He has to have radiation, but at least he's alive and going to make it through. Em, you always make me see the silver lining in everything because you are always so positive!!! You are rubbing off on me :)

Oh! I thought you were all ready at home...I had called and they said you weren't there.
I am sorry you were up there for so much longer than normal.
You are doing so great!

Whittergirl said...

That just brought me to tears. Thanks for sharing. I wish I could see through a child's eyes somedays when I don't feel that I'm being all that great of a mother, wife, etc. I'm so glad that you are home now.

It was good to see you the other day in Moroni. And I wish you would've been feeling good enough to go to the baby blessing. We missed you. Hope you are doing good!! We think about you guys a lot.
