Happy Birthday Jade!


 
Fifteen years ago today, I was at the hospital giving birth to my daughter.
 
I'll never forget the moment when they placed Jade in my husbands arms and
he brought her to me.  That feeling of love was so strong, so powerful, it took my breath away.
 

The frantic moments, the pain, just moments before, 
forgotten.  
It was all worth it.
 
I remember kissing her and telling her how much I loved her.
 
It's true.  I really, really do.
 
Jade,
 
I am so proud of you!
