“I’ve watched you sleep, I’ve kissed you a million times and I know something you don’t yet;
You are writing the story of your only life, every single minute of every day.
And my greatest hope for you sweet child is I can teach you how to write a good one.”

My Everything

My goal for this blog is to capture everything I can about Gabi's life; the things I want her to know and forever remember. Life passes us by, unforgivingly, not letting us stop for a moment to just push pause or rewind. With this, I hope she will someday be able to see the love that I have for her--that it's extraordinary and bigger than she or I will ever completely know. I want her to learn things, to believe in herself, to be strong, to succeed...to grow, to love, to laugh, and to lead the life she was destined by God to live.
My ability to write in a baby book is close to non-existant, so some day, whenever it may be, I want to put my writing collections and pictures in a book for her to have and to look back and reflect upon. I have a lot of catching up to do, as it has been almost six years of reminiscing and life lessons that I have to give her but it will be something no one else will ever be able to fulfill. 
Her sixth birthday has arrived...and as a mom, it is a reminder just how precious life is - and that we can't possibly grab every moment in our lives and hold onto them no matter how hard we try. Eventually these moments can only be cherished in our minds and in our hearts, where they will forever remain. Meanwhile, we get to celebrate God's greatest gift of all...life!
