I laugh when I remember so vividly wondering, will I have enough to say and write about?
Life provides countless memories and endless stories. It captures funny moments, falling in love, broken hearts, friendship, family, tragedy and triumph.
After six years, I've often feared, what if something happened to this blog site? What if it goes down and I lose all these memories? So for Christmas, I turned this blog into a book ... for my girls.
It took days. I'm guessing about seven hours of cleaning up spacing and reducing photo sizes condensing their books into the final 762 pages!!
I learned that Mariah follows my blog almost daily. I had no idea.
I learned Brooke was curious about my blog, but never knew the website.
Brooke shared with me yesterday there were so many things she didn't remember. So many things that she didn't know. I knew that. She was a little girl, just turning 11 when her dad passed. That is why I captured her memories. So one day, now she is older, she knows I did everything in my mommy powers to cover and protect her.
This blog is for my girls. It is our lives raw and real. It is me as a mom, but me as a woman as well.
I don't want them ever to forget and to always knows I love them and did my very best.
