through whitneys eyes

Tonight as I put Whitney to bed and watch her try to put herself to sleep I see that little hand come up and she looks at her hand like she has never seen before. As she twist and turns it to see how her hand works and she is amazed that it can move and it is attached to her. How we take things for granted like our hands where someone so tiny loves to look at her tiny hands and is awwed by their sight. As I rock her back and forth I think to myself of the out pouring love I have for Whitney this must how God feels for everyone of us. He wants us to be happy and he is always there for us no matter what our circumstance is. Before I became a mom I didn't understand how much God really loved me, but now that I am a mother I think I might understand that he loves me and wants the best for each of his children. What a blessing Whitney is to our family. She is a ray of sunshine and brings me joy everyday. Waiting 4 years was all worth it!! It was hard at times and I didn't think that I would ever become a mother. Yes it is hard sometimes with lack of sleep, but it is all worth it. I love being her mother and wouldn't ask for a better child. I hope she stays happy! I love my sweet whitney. Good Night Whitney see you in the morning!
