May - It's my Month

May 02, 2009

I'm up bright and early this Sunday morning.  This is my month, my birthday is the 13th which is also my pre-op day (Happy Birthday to me).  My surgery day is May 19th and I have to be at New Hanover Regional bright and early at 5:45.  I'm so excited.  Now, I know all this is important to me, but there is something I feel is just as important.  My daughter, one and only child is graduating from college May 10.  I know all mother's are proud of their children, but right now I feel as though I'm the proudest of all.  Looking back, I had to work very hard to get pregant like a lot of other women.  I was so thrilled when it finally happened.  One of the proudest moments in my life was when I looked at that beautiful little baby girl about 6 hours after delivery.  It was a emergency c-section and a long recovery.  My little baby girl has grown into a beautiful young woman.  It wasn't always easy as I've mentioned before her father left  a year after she was born.  Boy did he miss so much, but I cherished everything.  Graduation for her will be the close of one chapter in her life, but she'll be starting another chapter as a law student in the fall.  Again, I can't say enough of how proud of her I am and as she starts a new chapter in her life, I'm starting a new chapter in mine.  This is my month also, a new beginning, another chance on life, another chance to add many years to mine.  I want to see my daughter graduate from law school, to see her someday to fall in love to someone that will cherish her half as much as I do and to have a child someday that she'll love as much as I do her and who I can spoil rotten and send her or him back to mommy.
