Oh how do you have a teenage girl see, what you see in her.
How do you stop time from ticking on? How do you?
Her precious smile, her caring heart, her sense of humor, her "get it done" attitude, her love of family, her love of the Gospel...
My heart breaks every time hers does. Whoever said being a mother is easy was So Wrong. It is so much more then what one expects when they have that new little baby in their arms. You have so many hopes and dreams for them. The most precious dream is that they grow to love themselves as much as you love them. You want to wipe away every tear, every heartache, every disappointment they go through. And you especially want to beat up on anyone that hurts them. But sadly you can not. I wonder if this is how God feels about us sometimes. If he just wants to sit down and cry with us, maybe even beat up the people that hurt us as well. Make everything all better. I know that we would never learn anything if we did not have trials to make us grow stronger. But it is so hard to see your beautiful baby girl go through them.
Madi, I love you. You will make it though this time of life. I believe in you. Love, Mom

I think every mother of a girl will feel this way at some point. As females, we care too much sometimes and our hearts are so tender. But that is what makes us different, it's what makes us beautiful. You keep being Madi's biggest cheerleader and let her know she is of INFINITE worth!! No one but the Lord knows what she has the capacity to become. But it will be great. And tell me who it is that's breaking her heart and Aunt Cheri will beat them up too! :)
Ah the joys and the heartaches--such a frustrating time in life. I don't think god would beat up on people--he seems to be much better at controlling his temper after the flood and all--but i am sure the sense of disappointment he must feel when we hurt each other must make his heart break. I am with ya sista' being a parent is hard and thank goodness that time does not stand still or we would not appreciate change for what it is--a brief moment--and I promise you things will get better that is what gets us through the trying times--the hope that the sun will rise again....
We love reading your tender feelings as it reminds me to stop and appreciate all the things that we go through. May Maddie look back someday when she is a mom and know how much you truely love her. We love you and will be there to back Aunt Cheri to take out anyone she misses!!
