This morning I was holding Mia and hugging her.
I could feel a significant difference in her weight and size.
I pleaded with her
"Why are you growing so much? Please slow down."
She pulled her head back, looked at me and in the sweetest most comforting voice she said
"I have to mom, it's just part of life."
She looked at me with such love. It melted me.
I squeezed her again and said
"Promise you will always be my baby girl."
Her answer
"Always."
