Life lessons

Kathryn | Happy making, Baby, baby, baby | Sunday, 20 December 2009

Today when Iris’ eyes finally closed and she drifted off during a nap, something unexpected happened.  I allowed myself to let go of all of the fear, the weight of responsibility of raising a girl that colors every interaction with her.  I found myself weeping with joy.  I have a beautiful, perfect daughter.  It doesn’t have to be so scary.  I’m going to be conscious of not letting that fear grip me any more.
