Awe

Some days, when we reach the end of the day
And all the girls are sleeping
I stop and reflect
on life
on parenting
on children

Some days,
I am grateful we survived another day
Some days,
I admire my children's hard work
Some days,
I laugh
Today,
I am in awe.

Sweet Little Lauren has had a rough start to life.
She has been to more doctors than I can count
She has had 5 surgeries
She has had CT scans and MRI's
She struggled, in pain
and she laughed through it
She has smiled through it.
She has snuggled through it.
Of all our girls, the one who has struggled the most
Has smiled the most.

I am in awe of a sweet little almost 2 year old girl
who has met ever challenge with a smile
and a fierce determination
and a spirit that can't be broken.
She makes us laugh and makes us proud
Her determination is infectious.
Her smile is heart warming.

Lauren's a fighter
Lauren's a winner
Lauren's going to have an amazing life
I am in awe of a little girl that has touched our hearts
in a way, we did not think possible.
