When I was 6 months

I couldn't help but mention, when I was 6 months old my biological mother passed away. It gives special meaning to this day with our daughter. I watch her fall asleep upon my breast. As I take a deep breath with hers, I think I can somehow describe in words my emotions for this special day. I am still speechless; overwhelmed with the love I feel (and have never felt before). I can't imagine the pain of losing Sierra at this point in our relationship; even without knowing you were going to. My biological mother's death has made me much more aware of the ephemeral aspects of child rearing. Those which I will always cherish.
