How time flies

How time flies...

Sometimes you blink your eyes and you can't believe how many years go by. Today is one of those days....today my baby turns 20.
Wow... where did the time go?

I remember when they told me I was pregnant with her, it was the best day and the worst day of my life. They said "Congratulations  your pregnant...but... there is a cyst growing and we don't know if it's cancerous or not so you need emergency surgery right now"

Those words cut my heart, how do you do surgery while your pregnant? When the cyst and the baby are fighting for space and are so close to each other.
They didn't give her much odds to survive and told me so. I was 4 months along when they did the surgery.
They said it would be a miracle if she did survive. They obviously don't know the miracles God has done in my life.

Because yes, she was born 6 months later, after the surgery and the bed rest I went through, my "miracle baby" was born.

She held my heart from the moment I held her in my arms. She was so different from her sister, as soon as she learned to walk, she was gone, God forbid you let go of her hand, poof she was gone. She had a mischievous look in her eyes, always planning her escape. She had a hardy laugh and a smile that could and still can, light up a room. She also had this unbelievable attachment to a little pink elephant she named Ellie. He went everywhere with her, hanging from her little hand while her thumb was in her mouth. This is the picture of her I will hold in my heart forever.

Today she is a young women, she turns twenty. Long gone is Ellie and her days of escape. She is smart and athletic, she was a talented soccer player, a boxer and a straight A student. She is funny as hell, she is sweet and kind and she is truly an old soul through and through.
She knows more old songs than I do!

I am so proud of the women she has become and the incredible life she has a head of her.
She is a hard worker, she is compassionate and takes care of her grandmother. She has already traveled the world and has grand plans for her life, which I know she will do.

So today my friends, enjoy every moment with your children, forget the dirty clothes, the dishes, the 101 chores you need to do, they are only young once. Enjoy them now, this minute because before you can blink your eyes they will be all grown up and your be also be here saying where did the time go?

Happy 20th birthday my miracle Cinco de mayo baby, Sarah. The world is yours, be who God made you to be, be true to yourself. Don't apologize for anything, dance to the beat of your own drummer and know I will always be here for you, being your biggest cheerleader!
I love you and am so very proud of you!
