"I Never Want to Leave You Mama"




Tali, there are moments as your mom when I just can't believe that God has given you to be in your Daddy and my care. It is such a humbling and beautiful responsibility. When you spoke these precious words the other night with tears streaming down your face, I was even more humbled that God has given us you. We were laying in bed about to pray when you said, "I never want to leave you mama!" Your tears kept coming and you kept wiping them away like you didn't want me to see. My heart sank, the kind of sink that aches. I wanted the moment to last forever. This huge measure of goodness makes my cup overflow. I was so overwhelmed. Oh Tali Grace, I so wish I could have you all to myself for the rest of my life but how selfish that would be. I love you so Tali and because of that, one day I will have to say go... go sweet girl. And you will physically go and adventure and live in the fullness God has for you. Until then, I will treasure our sweet nightly talks, walks and all the wonderful things you bring to our day, knowing full well in due season you WILL want to leave and it will be a beautiful thing.
