Today I am thankful for my daughter. She's actually been really cranky today and for the last week. She's been teething so that's no fun.
But the point is that I feel lucky and privileged to even have such "trials" as dealing with her fussiness. I know a few people who have lost their children at young ages and their deaths are incredibly humbling to me. I cannot imagine the faith and will power necessary to endure such an event and I really admire those who have weathered it so gracefully. They are an inspiration. I know I am incredibly blessed to have conceived, carried a baby to full term, been through the miracle of birth, and raised such a happy little person for the first precious months of her life. Rebekah is a real individual and I cannot imagine my life without her. I honestly thank Heavenly Father for her every night in my prayers and even for the hard times with her. I just love this part of life and all the blessings and lessons that come with parenting.
