From the day you were born and I held you for the very first time, you were only a few hours old, my heart met yours...
Grace Clara - 8th February 2018 |
I didn't give birth to you, yet my mother-heart loves you as if you had grown inside me. A gift from God, we belong to one another.
My precious (grand) child, may you always know you are loved beyond measure. May you always feel acceptance, value and worth.
"Sometimes you aren’t there when a child is born into this world — but that child was born in your heart long before you can ever remember. Sometimes you belong to each other simply because you long to be with each other." — Ann Voskamp
Ann's words resonate with me so perfectly!
EDIT:
When we were asked to raise our own grand-daughter (our 5th grandchild) and become her legal guardians, we were incredibly humbled and honoured. We consider our little Grace a precious gift from God who deserves to be loved deeply, accepted and valued for the beautiful soul she is.
