Before ten years ago

I was no more than a wife, daughter, sister or friend.

I had no idea what happiness was.

I had never buckled a car seat.

I had never nursed a baby.

I had not met you.

But since then,

I held a piece of my heart in my hands.

I found a missing piece of my life.

I saw a tiny version of myself.

I learned how to love you.

I became your Mom.

Happy Birthday, my sweet, sweet Hailey!
