So today...

Is my first daughters birthday. She's ten this year and as the parent to a child that runs face first into life, I am shaking my head and smiling.

Not many people know that this is an exceptionally emotional time for me as well. Around this day my skin sort of thins out and little things hurt me alot more because on this day, ten years ago, another woman had to lose her baby so that I could have mine.

Ten years ago, I sat in Monmouth Medical all set to deliver Kayla when my dr came to me and said another woman just came in and the baby was in distress would I mind if they took her first?

Without a thought to the fact that my body had decided this was going to be the day come hell or high water and had swung into full labor, (not the intensity where you just gotta push, but the full levy of contractions every few minutes.) I told him to take care of her.

I will always remember the look on Dr. Lepis's face when he came for me. He never had to say a word. And as i walked to the delivery room, i cried along with the woman who could be heard clearly from the recovery room.

I always looked on that day as God had one cherub to send to Earth and he chose me to be its guardian.

Thats why this day is special for me. Thats why this day, my guard is down and things pierce my heart more easily. This is the day that God made a choice and I was the victor or sorts.

Single and Blogging wants to take this moment and get down on her knees and once again thank God for my gift and I hope I'm doing You proud.
