SAVOR

My Dearest Daughter, 

My world became so much richer after you entered into my life and I into yours. What I mean by that is that everything became more vibrant, and the frequency at which I smile, laugh, satisfyingly sigh and and feel fulfilled have noticeably increased. 
When I spend time with you, I get that feeling I used to get when I would travel or try a new activity. When I would get out of my usual bubble and routine. But in this case, I feel it every day. The world slows down, my heart swells and my breath gets deeper, and I experience gratitude, wonderment, and bliss all at the same time. 
I think what it is...is that I'm truly living in the moment with and because of you. Part of me wants to document all our time together because each moment is so fleeting and precious to me, but I often don't because I am so enraptured in those moments. 
I wonder, is this what people meant by saying "having kids is so worth it" or "having kids was the best thing to ever happen to me?" 
Thank you for giving me this gift, every day. 

I love you, 
Your Mama
