Sweet, gentle love...


"Where there is love there is life"  -- Mahatma Gandhi

Chloe, you are my LOVE.
How can I possibly put to words all that you mean to me, my darling Chloe.
It is so much more than words either spoken or written could ever evoke.
But for the sake of those who never experienced what it feels like to be
blessed with your miracle, I will try the best I can to tell them...

But please, my sweet angel, don't think that these words I speak
are all that you mean to me, because it is so much more
powerful than anything in this life.

Chloe, you are my heart.
You are my heart because you gave it shape,
you softened it and you gave it the fullness it so longed for
to experience such a love.

Chloe, you are my breath.
You are the air I needed to live a life of such richness, such fullness,
and with such excited energy.  Every sigh, every cry, every laugh,
and every kiss became full of more life and emotion than
I have ever felt before.

Chloe, you are my eyes.
You are my eyes because for the first time I see the importance
of each precious moment.  I see the tenderness and wonderful beauty
in so many things I had never seen before.

Chloe, you are my thoughts.
You are my thoughts because through you I am able to see
beyond myself, to share, enjoy and appreciate the gift and beauty of others
and of every moment.

But more than anything my sweet angel,

Chloe, you are my LOVE.
You are my love because you have given me more love
than I ever knew I deserved.

Chloe, you are LOVE.

Thank you my darling Chloe for showing me LOVE.

I will carry your LOVE in my heart, wherever I go and I will
share your LOVE with everyone I meet, in every beautiful treasured moment
of this life until we meet again and I can give the LOVE back to you.

I love you Chloe.  Thank you for sharing your love with me.

I love you forever and ever my beautiful daughter,

Mommy
