"Now I know how it feels to have my heart outside of my body, to have a reason, if necessary, to make a deal with the devil to save her every precious breath. I know how it feels to fall in love all over again, to fall from unfathomable heights, to sacrifice and to be redeemed, to be ripped in two and to survive, to protect, to serve, to feed, to feel, to love. I hold my daughter closer and feel a new self emerge"

She's found her Wings

This post is a little overdue, it's a collection of pictures from her first grass and park experiences the past couple of months in New Orleans. This was a very significant step for us, I don't know how crazy it is for you all to see her on her own outside but it felt so wrong at first, as she's never been farther than a stroller away before this. I thought she might be a little aprehensive at first, but no...she absolutely lit up with excitement, as you can see, and would not even think about staying still. Too many sticks, flowers, tree trunks and crowds of people to explore.
