Every Smile, Every Moment

There will come a day when I will be gone. Hopefully, God willing, we have many more days - years before I go home to meet Jesus. But when that time comes, Grace, I hope you see every photo I ever took of you, a feeble attempt to make time stand still in celebration of everyday and special day moments in our Grace FULL days. Not because they are perfect photos or even perfect moments, but becuase they are reflections of how I saw you -every smile, every sleeping, dancing, playing, creating, adventuring, curious,learning, living and loving moment. Every ordinary day that felt like magic to me; that made me thankFULL for the gift of you. I want you to know you were never unnoticed, never taken for granted. Never loved quietly. I loved you loudly - fully in a million moments I wish I could freeze forever. I hope when you see those moments, read these pages, that you will know just how very much you were cherished - loved deeply, fully in ways that words could never explain. And beyond that knowledge of being loved by the one privileged to call you daughter, you are even more loved by your heavenly Father who loves you infinitely more than I do. That is alot of love, Grace. It is more than enough.
