My daughter Jeannie,
who is 3 1/2 yrs old, got up this morning to get her own breakfast. I just cant believe how fast she has grown! She asked later if I loved her. I was stunned by this at first, and replied, "Of course I love you, why do you ask?" She didn't answer me, but asked, "How long will you love me?" At this point, I was thinking to myself, do I tell my children I love then enough? What could I have done for her to ask these questions?? So I told her that I loved her for forever, and that we would be a family for eternity. She made me promise ...so here I was, bending down on my knees, looking straight into her beautiful blue eyes and promised to love her forever. I was awarded with the most giant bear hug and a "thank you Mommy, I love you too."
