My Life in Pictures
Look at this goofball... You wouldn't think that half the times I ask for pictures she channels hey inner Olson twin...3 years ago today, Fiona became officially ours. I don't really remember much of that part of how we became a family, but I do remember that night I slept peacefully for the first time since the day Fiona was born (definitely the happiest day of my life). Happy birthday to our family 😍😍 #adoptionI didn't think I'd get to be a mom. I went through hell as my body failed me, and I felt so alone because I thought there was nobody in the world who could help me or even relate to what I was going through. But I was wrong, and I didn't realize how wrong I was until years later, when I myself became a mother. My mother has been there with me through the best and worst times of my life... Most recently being an invaluable help as we've had to navigate the complexities of Hugh's illness. And while many praise my strength and resolve, it's important to acknowledge that I get it from her. Being Fiona's mother has knocked into place all the things my mother thought me. It has added breadth and scope to every lesson I've learned in life. It has also given my life meaning and purpose beyond what I knew possible. In the nature vs nurture debate, I don't think I'd be who I am (or am even trying to be) were it not for my mother, and I hope that I can apply the lessons I learned to make of Fiona a woman who is happy, strong, and a force of good. Of all the things I could be, or would even want to be, every single day i want to someone my mom and Fiona can be proud of. Happy mother's day @angelitapena02 and thank you @fiona_emilia for changing my life.#todaysmood Hay quienes necesitan que se lo recuerden...Annush on Twitter!
