entry for may 21, 2006 may 20, '06 11:56 pm for everyone This time, at least it's been less than a month! I've been working my little tail off, and think I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, if it's not an oncoming train! Ms. T has gotten so big! She can say "Dada", "Bubba" and "diaper" now. She's rolling all over the floor, can get on her hands and knees, but not crawl yet. She plays "peek-a-boo" and has developed this weird habit of grabbing double-fistfuls of hair and pulling herself up into it, then opening her mouth wide, and wiping her face in the hair. I don't know why. She's also doing facial expressions, like squinting while snorting through her nose, trying to wink, and this huge grin! She's so funny. She knows Daddy's leaving when he puts on his ballcap, and tries to take it off my head when I bend to kiss her goodbye, so I can't leave. She is such a precious little gift of God! I'm so glad He gave her to me, and know deep in my heart that her Mom is there, just out of our sight, watching, and is so proud of her. I still miss her Mom with all of my heart. The ache sometimes is almost intolerable, but T's such a precious little person, having her here helps so much. It gives me the strength to face each day, and realize there is life, and hope still to go on, maybe thats what courage to go on is all about. ©F.Pierce 5/21/06
