Happy 22nd birthday to my miracle baby

Happy birthday

Happy birthday to my miracle baby

Sometimes you blink your eyes and you can't believe how many years go by... Today is one of those days.
Today my baby turns 22...wow... Where did the time go? 
I remember when they told me I was pregnant with her, it was the best day and the worst day of my life...."Congratulations you are pregnant...but there is a cyst growing and we don't know if it's cancerous or not so you need emergency surgery now"

Those words cut my heart, how do you do surgery while you're pregnant?  When the cyst and the baby are fighting for space and are so close to each other? They didn't give her much odds to survive and told me so. I was 4 months along when they did the surgery. They said it would be a miracle if she did survive.
They obviously don't know the miracles God has done in my life. And so she was born 6 months later after 7 hours in surgery and 6 months of bed rest, I had my "miracle baby"

She had my heart from the moment I held her in my arms, I already knew that she was so different from her sister. As soon as she learned to walk, it was game on, God forbid you let go of her hand, poof she was gone. She had a mischievous look in her eyes, always planning her escape, she had a hardy laugh and a smile that could and still can light up a room. She had this unbelievable attachment to a little pink elephant she named Ellie, he went everywhere with her hanging from her little hand while her thumb was in her mouth... This is the picture of her I will hold in my heart forever.

Today she is a young lady, she turns twenty two, a true adult and long gone is Ellie and her days of escape. She is smart and athletic, she was a talented soccer player and straight A student in school. She now is almost finished with her college degree and has a fantastic boyfriend who I adore and adores her. She never gave me one second of grief... okay...maybe a few. 

She is funny as hell, she is sweet and kind and she is an old soul through and through. She knows more old songs than I do, I remember she wanted to go with me to a Lionel Richie concert, she was the youngest there and knew every word to every song, I was so proud.
She can sing and dance and has a can do attitude even when things get tough. But what I love so much is that she has the biggest heart, she is an empath and she has compassion for everyone and everything around her. I am so proud of the women she has become and the incredible life she has ahead of her.

Last year I was blessed to be in quarantine with her and watched her blossom even in spite of what was going on around us. She took on new projects with me as I taught her how to use power tools and a new attitude even when things were rough. That time together, this us against the world, attitude me, her and her sister have has made us closer so I am glad I had that time to bond with her even more. She single handedly takes care of her grandmother and sees her every week. She is kind and generous and I have never been so proud to say that I am her mother and I am so proud of her, and the amazing women that she turned into.

So today my friends, enjoy every moment with your children, forget the dirty clothes, the dishes, the 101 chores that need to be done, they are only young once... enjoy them now, this minute because before you can blink your eyes they will be all grown up and your be here saying where did the time go...

Happy 22st birthday, my miracle, Cinco De Mayo baby...Sarah, I love you so very much and I am so proud of you! May God bless you with all you wish for!
