Today is my beautiful daughter's eighth birthday. And, for some reason, I'm overcome with emotions. She's so filled with life and light and happiness. Everyday brings something new and wonderful into the realms of her experience. Just watching her grow and learn fills me with my own sense of wonder and joy.
It's something I would never have experience without having a child of my own and something I'd do anything to keep.
So, even though she'll probably never see this, I just wanted to say: "Happy Birthday, Samantha!" I hope every year to follow is just as fill with love, joy and light.
Anyone else experience such... I don't know the words... goodness? Blessings? This is a good thread to reexperience or reexamine those things which make us feel alive and happy. With so many threads about people's lives falling apart or their days of unhappiness, let's show them that there is Goodness out there and it may be found in the smile of a beloved child or ... or whereever.
