Miss Mads .......

Today is a big day for my girl, she is so excited about her business:) Being Madeline's mom is so fun......she is such an interesting little chick.....I know I am bias but;-) I think daily how blessed I am to have the both of them.....I truly enjoy being with them so very much. Mads is my right hand girl......she and I are so close in such a special way......I am so excited to have the summer to spend more time with them......I have mentioned before that I feel like Madeline and I are walking parallel journeys.....finding our way in similar ways alongside each other......her journey at Acton is not easy.....it forces her to be uncomfortable......to stretch herself......to grow in all sorts of ways......but she loves it! She is embracing the challenge each and every day and steps up! I knew when I read about it and learned of it, that it was for her......and that she would thrive......and that is what has happened......she is so special in so many ways......and it has been fun to watch her talents and personality unfold.....she is super sensitive and kind.......but strong and self reliant.....she is a mush and fierce........she is clever and creative.....she has great ideas and sees the world in such a unique way......she is truly one of my favorite people to hang with.....and she has been loving hiking and exploring in all the ways I am.....she is always up for an adventure.......I plan on adventuring with her for as long as she lets me:) Sometimes I wonder if my marriage should have ended earlier on........before Mads came to us......and then I realize it is because of her that it needed to continue.......I most definitely needed her to arrive in my life, and that was the way it was to be........she has been a pleasure to raise all along......so easy as a baby......just fun in every way.....I cannot wait to watch her grow and see the woman she becomes one day in this world......I think she will be better equipped than most, at a much younger age.....not needing to wait till her 40s to come into her own;-) She already is way more confident than I ever was at her age or well beyond......her school encourages that too.....and I hope it always stays with her.......watching her stick with her task yesterday.....for hours, and make a way and not give up......warmed my heart.....it is so important.....and she will need that all of her life......the willingness to endure even when she isn't sure she can......and while I hate that her heart was broken at such an early age.....I know that all of our heartache isn't ours to choose, and it all makes us who we become in this life.......and even when it is our children......so I trust that God knows what this heartache will do in her life.......and already I see a ton of growth in her as a result of it......she will be a force in this world, of that I have no doubt...... Can't wait to see Mads rock her business today! Come down if you are around! It is in front of the transfer service in Milford! GO MADS GO:) My sweetest girl:)
