Growing up, had you asked me, I'd not have listed "being a mother" as one of my top five aspirations in life. It would have been... if I knew then what I know now. And I thank God every day that I did have children. I didn't know how tightly these two daughters would wind themselves into my very heart strings. And I could never have guessed all the ways they'd come to pluck them. 
The years have flown by... in a blink, a twinkle and a flinch, sparking every emotion under the sun. Now they are 27 and 23, one living in another state, the other living in another country. Yet... never have I felt closer to each of them, more connected to them.
Each is going through times of change, challenges known, outcomes unknown... and these things feel every bit my own.
Monica and Stephanie... I love you more than words could ever say.
