GABRIELLE

Wednesday is my daughter’s birthday. The day she was born was the happiest day of my life.

I had imagined her here for six years. I had done acupuncture, and all sorts of natural and medical opportunities to bring her in. The day I received the news I was pregnant, I knew God was real.

I never felt better in my life than when I was carrying her. No morning sickness, lots of energy (well, after the first month!) and a bliss I cannot describe. I had cut out a picture from a magazine and showed it to my husband. “She’s going to look just like this,” I said. And she did.

She is still my greatest love. Yes, my grandson is a close second! But no one will ever take the place of my best friend…my daughter…my Gabrielle.

Happy Birthday, my darling. To the moon and back again!

Blessings,
MAAAAM
