Tired.
I am just plain tuckered out today. I have been tired for a few days now. Landry has been waking up a little earlier the last few days and it has my schedule all messed up. Bless her heart, she got really upset today and she wouldn't calm down for about and hour and a half. I tried EVERYTHING. She got happier when I put her in the bath(again) but resumed her fit when I took her out. It was just one of those mentally and physically exhausting days...what's a mommy to do?
Many of you know how much my Daddy means to me. It has never been a secret how I feel about of him...he's always had my respect, my admiration and my love. He is a hero in my book. Today, he wrote all of his children and family a letter detailing a scary situation he found himself a few days ago. He thought he was a goner. Without going into much detail, he told us some very special, personal things that he wanted us to know. My Daddy has always been a Christian but recently he has reacquainted himself with that part of his life. As good as he has always been in my eyes, his new glow surpasses anything I have ever seen in him. He is not only in love with the Lord, he is in love with his walk with Him. I have always believed that the best gift you can give your children is to show them what love is and that starts with the love of the Lord. Thank you, Daddy for giving me a lesson in parenting. All I have to do is look at my daughter and know how blessed I am. The look on my face is the same one that stared back at me when my Daddy held me as a baby in the orphanage I grew up in. I have always said my life has come full circle in so many ways and this is just another way of God reminding me of where it all began for me. Thanks, Daddy. I love you, Tidbit.
