A friend sent me this poem and I must say that if I wasn't in the best frame of mind I think I might have been really sad but instead I choose to look forward to doing all these things with my children one day, and ladies...so should you all because we WILL get there!!!
Just for this morning,
I am going to smile when I see your face
and laugh when I feel like crying.
Just for this morning,
I will let you choose what you want to wear,
and smile and say how perfect it is.
Just for this morning,
I am going to step over the laundry
and pick you up and take you to the park to play.
Just for this morning,
I will leave the dishes in the sink,
and let you teach me how to put that puzzle of yours together.
Just for this afternoon,
I will unplug the telephone and keep the computer off
and sit with you in the backyard and blow bubbles.
Just for this afternoon,
I will not yell once, not even a tiny grumble when you scream
and whine for the ice cream truck, and I will buy you one if he comes by.
Just for this afternoon,
I won't worry about what you are going to be when you grow up,
or second guess every decision I have made where you are concerned.
Just for this afternoon,
I will let you help me bake cookies
and I won't stand over you trying to fix them.
Just for this afternoon,
I will take us to McDonald's
and buy us both a Happy Meal so you can have both toys.
Just for this evening,
I will hold you in my arms
and tell you a story about how you were born and how much I love you.
Just for this evening,
I will let you splash in the tub and not get angry.
Just for this evening,
I will let you stay up late while we sit on the porch and count all the stars.
Just for this evening,
I will snuggle beside you for hours and miss my favourite TV shows.
Just for this evening when I run my finger through your hair as you pray, I will simply be grateful that God has given me the greatest gift ever given.
And when I kiss you goodnight I will hold you a little tighter, a little longer. It is then, that I will thank God for you, and ask him for nothing, except one more day.......
Just beautiful, in my heart of hearts I know that we will all be kissing our children good-night one day and thanking God for this beautifull gift, just believe!

What a beautiful poem. Thank you for the reminder that all of this is going to be worth it one day.
That was truly beautiful and once again you have imspired me to hope. You are an angel, Tam, and I am very grateful that God brought us together through this struggle. And I do believe that we will get to cherish all the moments in the poem.
See now I am getting all emotional again! *sniff*
