Birthday song

Yesterday was a big day in a mom's life.  It was my daughter's birthday, and like most moms, I was reliving one of the most important and life changing days a person can experience.

Whether first, last, or one of several, the birth of child changes the world for you.  This helpless individual, completely dependent on your whims, is your full responsibility, and its a big one.  In this case, the child was even more helpless than most, being premature and in the NICU for some time before being allowed home.  She was just a morsel of humanity, light as a feather, and so fragile she couldn't even cry at first.  But the overwhelming love I felt was as big as the universe.  I would have done anything for her, from the first moment until this moment.
