Is Forever Enough?

June 3, 2010

My dear Teo,

When I wrote my last blog post, I totally forgot to include your 8 month photo.  So here it is!  Usually I take a bunch and choose the best one, but this time, you only sat still for this one shot and then you were crawling all over! 

Your development seems to have taken some major leaps this last month.  Not only did you start crawling, you have stood without help for about 10 seconds at a time, and the other day you actually took a little wobbly step.

AND you are talking.  You now regularly call me "Mama," and you call your papa "Bapa."  You make the sign language sign for milk very clearly.  In fact, once I came home when Grammy was watching you, and you were snuggled up with her and signing milk in your sleep! 

Hearing your little voice say "Mama" fills my heart every time you say it.   

Last night, I was at a Head Start teacher appreciation dinner, and part of the presentation was a slideshow of children from the classrooms set to music.  One of the songs was "Lullaby" by the Dixie Chicks.  I didn't expect this, but as I listened to the lyrics, I felt tears on my cheeks.  It really moved me, as I thought about both you and Sage.  There is nothing in the world like the love a parent feels for a child.  Sometimes it leaves me totally speechless and in awe.  

Loving you forever,
Mama


"Lullaby"

They didn't have you where I come from
Never knew the best was yet to come
Life began when I saw your face
And I hear your laugh like a serenade

How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough, is forever enough
How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough
Cause I'm never, never giving you up

I slip in bed when you're asleep
To hold you close and feel your breath on me
Tomorrow there'll be so much to do
So tonight I'll drift in a dream with you

How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough, is forever enough
How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough
Cause I'm never, never giving you up

As you wander through this troubled world
In search of all things beautiful
You can close your eyes when you're miles away
And hear my voice like a serenade

How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough, is forever enough
How long do you want to be loved
Is forever enough
Cause I'm never, never giving you up
