"People are often unreasonable, irrational and self centered; forgive them anyway. If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives; be kind anyway. If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies; succeed anyway. If you are honest and sincere, people may deceive you; be honest and sincere. What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight; create anyway. If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous; be happy anyway. The good you do today, will often be forgotten; do good anyway. Give the best you have and it may never be enough; give your best anyway. In the final analysis, it is between you and God; it was never between you and them anyway." - Mother Theresa

She Came To Me

She came to me in a midnight dream
I couldn't bare what was to be seen
And when she let out that first cry
My life stood at an all time high

She came to me on bended knees
Asking for my open arms
And when she crawled up high to me
From harm and strife - she was free

She came to me with faster feet
To bandaid her new scars and tears
And when she calmed, a sigh she blew
"It's ok" was all she knew

She came to me with exciting news
The monkey bars, she learned to do
And when she'd get right to school
The playground was a whole new cool

6 years had come so fast
My best friend she will always be
Tamara Leethee, my first, my love
6 years ago - she came to me


We've now hit the 6 year mark! Every once in awhile, I wish time would just stand still for even just a moment. So I can embrace her in just a little longer. I know they grow and grow fast. I begin to get excited about what she will bring this world. She amazes me day by day. 

My Tamara, 
I don't know how the past 6 years slipped through my fingers so fast. I couldn't be any more proud of you and all you have accomplished thus far in your life. You are very smart and very talented. If there is one thing that really stands out to me about you, its your very big heart. You don't see me watching most times I catch you doing a good deed without me asking. I catch you sacrificing a lot for your little brother. You let him win all the time to make him feel like a champ but I know you let him win a lot. You always let him pick 2 shows before you argue for 1 turn. You are always getting in trouble for him. I know there have been many times that I have yelled at you for something your little brother did and yet you keep your mouth shut. I know. Tamara, I couldn't have asked for a better daughter and big sister for your brother. As you grow older, you begin to paint newer colors to YOU and I get excited each time I see a new color. I can't wait to see what you bring to this life in this next year. I love you so much! You really do make my heart beat. Don't ever lose your sparkle! 

Kisses Forever, 
Mommy
