From a mother to her daughter

Lauren,

I woke up on our first Mother's Day together with a joy unlike any I've ever known. I have waited so long to be a Mother and yet I would have waited another hundred years had I known it would bring me to you.

I will never know what I did to deserve you and thank God for every day that I get to call you my daughter.

May you always know how loved you are and what a huge blessing you are to our family.

Thank you for being you and for letting "me" be a part of your life.

Love, Your Mom
