A Happiness Prayer for Dakota : 06/18/11

Today my oldest daughter was married. I could not be there. But today I learned the meaning of being there in spirit. Every thought, every prayer, every tear, every breath and every smile was there with love and warmth and well wishes for my first born. Dakota: 06/18/11

I wish for you all the magic of the world. Love, babies and tender moments in the most beautiful places.
Quiet kisses stolen in the shadow of a laundry room with a "finally" sleeping baby in your arms.
Lazy mornings wrapped in the arms of your husband. I also wish for you the spirit of God and the connection of the beauty around you.
It will always be in the stars of heaven, in the setting sun and the rising moon. You will find God's peace and beauty in the hush of a forest grove or in a stillness of a church. But look carefully Honey, and you will find happiness in the unsuspecting and loving stare of your husband and when he kisses the small of your back with the most tender of touches.
 You will also find grace and humbleness in the first smile of your newborn baby. You will also find these amazing moments and hidden secrets of love and happiness in a song, or in the tiniest voice of a child or on an angels sleeping face.
Always my love cherish and absorb such moments for that is TRUE HAPPINESS.
MY one and only wish for you from the moment of your birth was happiness.
With great regret there is a but....But  this wish comes with a warning, these moments maybe over looked and forgotten in the midst of an argument or in the exhaustion of a screaming child or simply because you have stopped looking... always , always keep your heart, eyes and spirit open for in any given moment happiness is waiting to be discovered.....

I love you Darling
~Mom
