There is no sweeter sound.. A sound I have waited for and dreamed of hearing my whole life. A sound I had come to terms with the fact that I would never hear. Can you relate to this? I would love to hear your story. Then totally unexpected one busy Tuesday afternoon, God gave me the chance to fulfill my dream. And for that I will always be grateful.
There used to be only quiet in our house, just the two of us. And truthfully we had gotten used to that. Then one beautiful day, when I was having such a bad day, that changed and sunshine began to shine. Our little shining star was on her way. Now to get that call after nearly 12 years of processes and training with Adoption and fostering was indescribable and so surreal. It was almost like being in a dream and being afraid of waking up. All the hard work we had put into it to to prepare our self was all coming into light.
In the almost 6 months of being a Mum to a beautiful two year old little girl , one thing that I hold so very dear and locked so tenderly in my memories is her every laugh. Her laugh is so infectious, so captivating and the sure thing that makes me smile at the end of a long day. Her sound is so cheeky, so full of energy, mischievous and playful. Hearing her laugh has become what makes me feel alive and happy. It's like all the other bad and challenging stuff just melts away and that moment is all that matters. I want to be a camera and constantly taking images to embed in my mind forever
I love our outside play times. Watching her running around with our dogs Kelsey and Ruby-Jane laughing as they chase and follow her around waiting for her to throw the ball is hilarious! Mum and Dad are always laughing along with her!! But her laugh is just pure happiness, it's a girl having fun with her family!! Another special moment when her laugh just captures me is when Daddy comes home from work in the afternoon. She has superpower hearing I'm sure!! She hears Daddy's truck pulling in the driveway and starts BELLOWING out 'DADDY'S HOME DADDY'S HOME!" with the cutest little giggle and laugh. The excitement in her eyes is so precious At that moment there I just melt into a complete Mummy puddle. Thinking this is happiness, this is what life Is supposed to feel like.
Do you have an obsession? Can you relate to this as A Mum? what particular moment with your beautiful family makes you feel like this. When life gets messy and challenges you to a new level. Just take a minute, close your eyes and go to these moments. Moments where you are happy, smiling and feeling completely blessed for the wonderful gift of being a Mum. All I have to do is look into my shining stars eyes and I see all my worth and all my dreams there for me to grab and make mine. Comment below and tell me how you feel, what makes you feel happy and alive.
