Emotional Moment

What is it about being a mother that makes you so emotional! Before I had Isabella I was not an emotional person, in fact my in-laws used to call me "stoneheart" (jokingly of course) because I never cried at movies. That is definitely not the case anymore! One example is yesterday, I turned on the radio so Isabella could dance - her latest thing. Whenever she hears music she waves her arms up and down and moves her shoulders back and forth. The first song that came on the radio was "I Cross my Heart" by George Strait. I always liked this song growing up and thought it was a great love song. But yesterday as I watched my little girl "dancing" and listened to the lyrics I saw it in a whole new light. I think it could also describe the love a parent feels for their child, and I was overwhelmed. Man do I love that little girl!

I Cross my Heart



Our love is unconditional

We knew it from the start

I can see it in your eyes

You can feel it from my heart

from here on after

Lets stay the way we are right now

And share all the love and laughter

That a lifetime will allow

I cross my heart

And promise to

Give all I've got to give to make all your dreams come true

In all the world

You'll never find

A love as true as mine

You will always be the miracle

That makes my life complete

And as long as there's still breath in me

I'll make yours just as sweet

As we look into the future

It's as far as we can see

So lets make each tomorrow

Be the best that it can be

That's funny, I was just thinking last night how much I love Madeleine - and how I could never have imagined loving someone THIS MUCH! Do all moms think the have the best and most beautiful baby in the whole world?! I guess so :)

I wonder if this same thing happens with other children? I'm guessing it does!

I know what you mean. Sometimes just one of his smiles can bring tears of such joy to my eyes. So much love it's almost physically painful sometimes. And I just want to be with him and enjoy him and share him with all the world. I mean surely the whole world wants to enjoy Charles as much as I do?!
