Madilyn's Musical

This blog is dedicated to Madilyn Grace.

From the moment Madilyn was born, I knew there was something very special about her. She came into this world calm and curious. I always knew when she was taking something in, because she had the "look".

Along with many other talents and gifts, Madilyn has the most amazing ability to know what others are feeling, which allow her the ability to calm the scared, comfort the sad, or just plain make you bust a gut when you are having a bad day. Madilyn is an old soul, she knows what this world is about, and she knows that love and understanding will get you along way with a person, no matter who they are. Her compassion for all living things never ceases to amaze me. She can calm and infant, cheer up a toddler, and even take an animal that isn't very friendly and turn it around in minutes. Animals feel her presence, and know she will not hurt them.

When Madilyn started talking (around the age of 1), she was full of information and questions. Soon after she began to talk, she also began to sing. Her singing is amazing. She can hear a song, once...maybe twice, and if she likes it, she will sing it perfectly the next time she hears it. This was happening even as a toddler. I knew then, she was born to sing.

As the years have gone by and she has grown physically, mentally and spiritually, she has become my inspiration. Her voice is like an angel, warming my soul.

My first born daughter, my life, my laughter and my love, so carefully packaged into one beautiful soul for me to cherish and love for the rest of our lives. I cannot be more thankful to God than I am this very minute for sending me such a wonderful gift.

This is for you my daughter. I love you with all my heart and soul.
