One of my precious gifts!

In my beautiful world I call my life ... I met a girl today. I've seen her everyday now for fourteen years. But today she touched my heart, touched my heart so deeply that I saw her today, really saw her.
When I looked into her eyes it was as if she took one of my heart strings and plucked it. When she played it, it suddenly played a beautiful sound, a sound that I had never heard before until today.
It was as if she introduced herself to me and said, "Mom hear I am, do you see me, your daughter? I'm growing into my own person, and I have feelings and dreams and a life ahead of me that only I can experience the way I do and will.
You can be my mother, my confidant and maybe my friend, but please, please be by my side, help me to see who I am, who I could be and who I was before. Love me unconditionally I beg you, and please see that I am human just like you and I am weak like a little bird, like a little girl."
At the same time she was saying that she is strong beyond belief strong enough to lift me up and help me through this life as well. And I realized she already has. 

I felt that little girl today in my heart, in a place so sweet and tender. A place only she could fill.
I felt as if God introduced me to her all over again, like he wispered in my ear "This is who I gave to you that day, fourteen years ago."...
so I'm paying attention Lord, I'm listening, I'm learning and I'll love her more and I'll do all you want me to do for her, with her.
I love her ...my little girl who is now finding out who she is as I am too. Her wings are ready to soar and I'm ready to wrap my wings around hers and show her the way. She is truly one of my precious gifts in this beautiful world I call my life.
