I wish there was a way to make a child understand how much they are loved... I mean , when you have a child, it means that all of your needs come after hers. It means that you would jump in front of a moving vehicle to save them. It means that you would stop a speeding bullet with your own heart to save their life. It means that a little bit of sillyness and suddenly you feel like a kid again. It means that you believe in fairy tales and Santa Claus. It means that sleep comes after everything is done and that she is ready for school the next day.. It means every morning you drive her to school looking like crap because you spent the last 45 minutes coming through her hair as easy as possible so that she does not feel one of the many snaggle nest that magically appear in her hair over night.. It also means that in someone's eyes you are a super hero, a best friend, and your kisses are magic (they heal boo boos instantly) and in your arms is the best place to be when she is scared or sick. One saying that I love that sums it all up is this: Having a child is the decision to go around for the rest of your life with your heart walking around on the outside of your body.... Happy Valentine's Day..... may your life be filled with love.....
