Yesterday, I was able to spend several hours with my birthdaughter and friend, Addison. She's getting ready to start her JUNIOR YEAR (how in the world did that happen?) of college, and her birthday is around the corner. So we shopped...clothes, school supplies, dinner. I stepped in mud, she ran into a rack of clothes, and we laughed...a lot. Oh, and we found the ever elusive light blue folder with pockets and brads!!! Can I get a witness? :-)
This was hands down my most favorite visit with Addi. She's coming into herself, discovering who God made her to be, and embracing it joyfully. We had wonderful, meaningful conversations about God, church, friendships, life choices...you name it, we talked about it (right Addi, heh heh). I left that night with such a fullness in my heart, and a better sense of what this amazing young woman is all about.
Addi, I do not take our relationship lightly; I know it is a great rarity among birthmoms/daughters. I am grateful for every moment we spend together, perfect or not. And I'm absolutely taken by who you are - a beautiful, precious child of God. I love you! WORD. :-)
