In My Daughter's Eyes

This has been one of the most up and down times of my life for sure.  I seem to be constantly switching hats these days from Mom, to PT, to wife, to daughter and each of these roles brings with it joy, stress, bliss, worry, frustration, peace, gratitude, and the list of feelings and emotions goes on.  There is no doubt about it though, I am so blessed to have the best husband, an amazing family, supportive friends and coworkers, a wonderful boss, and of course Madeline and Emersyn.  Many people have said that dealing with my dad being in the hospital must be so difficult with two small children and yes, it is a juggling act, but they have kept us going lately.  It's hard to not smile when you see these faces and hear these giggles.






My dad and I both love Martina McBride and today I listened to the song "In My Daughter's Eyes" and it sums up perfectly how the girls give me strength, faith, and joy and keep me smiling no matter what.  If you have a daughter and don't know this song, check it out here. 

In my daughter's eyes I am a hero
I am strong and wise and I know no fear
But the truth is plain to see
She was sent to rescue me
I see who I want to be
In my daughter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes
Everyone is equal
Darkness turns to light
And the world is at peace
This miracle God gave to me
Gives me strength when I'm weak
I find reason to believe
In my daughter's eyes

And when she wraps her hand around my finger
Oh it puts a smile in my heart
Everything becomes a little clearer
I realize what life is all about

It's hangin' on when your heart
Is had enough
It's givin' more when you feel like givin' up
I've seen the light
It's in my daughter's eyes

I want you to know that I just showed Murphey the videos of Emersyn and Maddie and he said "Oh my God, it's our life" I told him that it's like Maddie and Nora were separated at birth!
