I didn’t think I was cut out to be a mom

But I couldn’t have been

Being Xael’s ht

She’s perfect She’s everything I love

I step outside onto the deck and shter Her chubby little legs stick out of her ruffle botto her eyes from the sun—eyes that were once blue and are now as brown as her daddy’s

The rest of our fa out We all decided to coether

But while I love all of them, I only have eyes for these two

They’ve stolen my heart, and I don’t want it back

Ever
