If I had no other reason to live, you would be reason enough. I would get up in the mornings (yes, at 5:30 am) to hear your elated giggle to see me. I would feed you to see you afterward, sprawled on my lap in complete contentment. I would put you back down to sleep, eager to hear that elated giggle again at 8:30. I would get up again, excited to play with you on the ground: to chase you, to kiss you, to swing you and to smile at you. I'd soak up every moment during the day that you look at me and smile; that you come to me and pucker those tiny, perfect lips for a kiss; that you come up and pat my arm, shoulder or back; that you stick your long, lovely pink tongue out; that you clap-clap or put your arms up in the air for "so-big"; that you flop around on my bed, playing with the pillows and that you give a random, ecstatic squeal. Then I would live to hold you at the end of the day, hum you "I Am A Child of God" and cuddle you in my arms.
With all of the delights you bring to my life, I could survive anything. However, I am grateful that I also have God, Christ, your Daddy, family, friends and the Plan of Salvation to give me even more reasons to live. I love you Norah Jane. You make my life rich.
love,
mommy
