Deep in her heart

Tonight I went to kiss my kids before I got in bed. When I leaned down to give E a kiss, she reached up and tightly grabbed my neck. I laid down for just a moment enjoying the sweet embrace. To most this would be no big deal, but for those of us who have at one time struggled with the attachment issues that so often can follow adoption, this was the most amazing feeling in the world. Deep in her heart (and fast asleep) she knew I was her Mommy and felt safe. Once again I am amazed that of all the people in the world, I was chosen to be her Mommy. I have been truly blessed.
