...remind me to not take things for granted.
She's my precious 'niece' and she makes me realize it's OK that life is imperfect. Many times, I try so hard, I give my all, and at the end of the day sometimes despite my triumphant smile, deep down I'm a little defeated. I stand tall, but inside I've shrunk. I hold my head high and yet I seek a shoulder to rest my weary head on.
But if I hold her just a second longer, I feel empowered again. My problems are trivial. I can live another day to overcome more obstacles and I'll do it because she will follow by example. I won't let her down. Sent via mobile. Will travel, will email.
