When my dear friend Kristina asked me to write a guest post for her lovely blog, I was totally honored. And when she asked me to write it about what I most look forward to as the mother of a daughter, I was delighted. I hadn't actually taken the time or energy to really consider all that I am looking forward to, until now. And honestly, writing this now as we've hit some rough patches lately, is the best thing I could have done.
It is such a privilege and a responsibility to raise a daughter. I have always wanted to be a mom, and I can't tell you how happy I am that I had a daughter first. She has opened my heart in ways I never imagined possible. There are so many things I want for her to experience and enjoy in her life.
I love this. This whole post reminds me of one of my favorite poems from one of my favorite poets. It's called "If I Should Have a Daughter" and it seriously makes me long for motherhood! I find it just completely inspiring...hope you like it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qt2JJydqtgQ
