Thanks Mommy :)

So...I stole this from my mommys blog...I love hearing this story and its something I can keep forever!! Thanks mommy!

Wow, it is hard to believe that 21 years ago today, I became a mother. I went to the doctor's office on the 6th of November and the doctor decided that I was a week over due and time to get this child born. So I was admitted to the hospital and the process was started. I really wanted to give natural childbirth a shot, so I declined any drugs. 16 hours later, I was ready for drugs! At 0316 my little baby girl was born. I had decided that I really like the name Terralynn, but as soon as I saw her, I knew she was Lynsie. Little princess Lynsie. I couldn't have possibly loved anything anymore than I did this little baby looking up at me! I had no clue what being a mother was all about and now that she is 21, I am not sure that I know anymore today than I did then. I always called her my guinea pig, because I learned everything with her.I am going to attempt to write a poem about her.....umm, might be difficult.

Lynsie

Do you know how much you mean to me? My little precious girl.
Away from home, going to school your life is such awhirl!

You are a part of me, so close to my heart.
How do I express my love? I don't know where to start?

You grew so fast, so quickly it seems, my how time does fly.
When I think of you and all you have become...yep....I start to cry.

And with those eyes full of tears, I suddenly start to smile
So many memories filled with fun makes the tears worthwhile.

Remember the day you cut your hair or painted your body red?
Or the time you went skinny dipping after sneaking out of bed?

What about boy crushes and driving mom's car?
Hanging out with friends and simply being bizarre?

Trips to the cabin, riding motorcycles and learning how to ski?
Good thing your dad's a teacher, cuz you didn't learn that from me!

Graduating from high school, working and then off to college you flew
You left my heart broken and feeling a little blue.

But I wouldn't want it any other way. Well maybe that's a lie.
I am so very proud of you and l just wish you didn't make me cry!!

You are a beautiful woman standing tall and with very little fear.
Your dreams, goals and desires in front of you are edging ever near.

So on this 21st birthday my wish for you is to keep chasing all those dreams
but remember your mother's love surrounds you like the warmth of sunbeams.

The next few years will fly quickly by and you may one day be looking into little eyes.
Then you might better understand why your mother always cries.

I love you Lynsie!! Happy Birthday!
