Happy Girl

Every morning when I go to wake up Lilly, I only hope for one thing...SMILES! When I placed Easton for adoption, the one thing that I kept dwelling on missing was the fact that I wouldn't be the one that he would see first thing in the morning and smile at. It is such a small thing, but it's what I was going to miss the most. So when I quietly say "Lilly," and she opens her eyes and immediately smiles at me, it fills me with the most amazing feeling in the world. She knows me. She recognizes me. And, perhaps, maybe those smiles mean she loves me.
