Lucky Me

"Mom, call me when my lunch is ready. I'll be outside, playing."

While that was said with a bit of sass, I felt so privileged to have it directed at me. I am so very blessed to be her mom. There are times, still, that I am amazed at how I got so lucky. She's my sunshine, my pal, my beautiful, dramatic daughter.  I'm so grateful to Alyssa, her birth mom, for sharing such a precious gift with me and giving me incredible opportunities--including calling Olivia when her lunch is ready.
