Have I ever mentioned how much I love my job as a homemaker? Every day that passes, I feel blessed that I am able to stay at home with my girls. Don't get me wrong, we all have bad days. I have days where I lose it. The girls have days where they throw tantrums and I think "It would be nice to drop them off, so I could go to work." But that moment is gone in a flash and I realize how lucky I am.
I think loosing a child has given me perspective others do not have, unless they have gone through something similar. I get to watch my girls grow up together and I feel thankful that they have each other. I have to admit that I cry when I see them happy together. Whether they are dancing, holding hands, laughing with one another, or just playing, it makes me miss Allie. It breaks my heart she is not here with us playing and laughing. I no longer take for granted the moments that I share with my girls because I know each day with them is a gift. And the hour and a half that I had with Allie is a gift that I will always carry with me in my heart. I am so glad that these two have each other. They bring such happiness into our lives. I am grateful to be with them each step of the way.
I guess it was what I was born to do, be a mother.

Oh Miss Melissa!
I love your posts and your pictures. Morgan and I went to dinner after seeing our friends new baby at the hospital. We talked about your girls and how very cute they are!
You are the best mom and I'm so glad you get to be home and enjoy each moment with those two.
What bittersweet moments to watch your girls play, but still think of miss Allie. I'm sure it's in those moments when she's right next to you, squeezing your hand to let you know she's there and a part of it.
Please know I'm thinking of you often and that you hold a very special place in my heart. xoxoxoxo
