These moments, spent with Sierra, each so perfect in their simplicity, have finally completed me, in a way that nothing else in this world ever could. and I am tired, exhausted to the core, and nothing is easy, but when everything goes wrong, and she steps in the dog's water bowl, and the milk spills on the counter, and there is cereal all over the floor, and the phone is ringing, and the t.v. is droning on in the background and chaos reigns supreme, in these simple chaotic moments, I still remember to be filled up with gratitude.
so much gratitude.
and when sierra falls on a can opener that she had gleefully stolen from the dishwasher, and needs 4 stitches, and it takes 7 hours in the emergency room, and I have to hold her down, so they can stitch up the back of her chunky thigh,
again, I just feel so much gratitude.
Thank you for this child, who challenges me, who stands on the back of the sofa, and tries to push out the screens, as she yells excitedly to the passing neighbors strolling by, thank you for the blessing of being able to chase her morning noon and night, and coming to rest, nestled next to her, beneath the sliver of moonlight that steals under my window blinds.
Sierra's new nickname is danger baby, and she has earned it! She is a dare devil through and through! Please god, give me wings. so I can catch her everytime she falls!
