I have the most crazy, beautiful daughters.
And I am one of the richest women in the world because of them. They have blessed me far beyond my hopes. And they make me very, very proud to be their mama.
One sent me a Facebook message this morning. Simple, forthright, direct. And I could only smile and laugh. Her simple words were enough to last the whole day.
Another daughter called me this morning. We laughed and cried together. And we shared hard things and encouraged each other.
Then my younger daughters came down and hugged me—their beautiful faces were the first ones I saw this morning. I spend most of the day with them, yet I find myself wishing there were more hours in the day.
I am acutely aware of how very blessed I am.
My crazy beautiful daughters.
They are Unique. Gifted. Insightful. Passionate. Intelligent. Street-wise. Deep. Sassy. Energetic. Witty. Keen. Quick. Lovely. Edgy. Compassionate. Bohemian. Non-conformists. And they love Jesus.
When I was young I dreamed about being a mother. I had vivid daydreams about what my children would look and be like. My wildest most wonderful dreams could not touch the reality of who they are. I didn’t dream big enough.
My crazy beautiful daughters.
They inspire me.
They encourage me to be me.
They call me to a higher place.

I agree with it all. I've never ceased to amazed by them, sometimes I can't believe I let girls so younge watch the boys (since I feel I can barely do it), but they never seem to be anything but capable & wonderful. I can't think of any family who appreciates each other this much...truly blessed!
