While watching LG and her sister at the top for the umpteenth time, I heard her once again holler down at me, "Mommy, look at me!" As I looked up again to smile my approval, it dawned on me...
I cannot remember the last time I heard her call me "Ms. Susan". And, in that sweet moment, my eyes welled with tears as I realized that somewhere in the last 18 or so months the lines have blurred. Although I didn't give birth to her, she holds a place in my heart just as strong as my other children. And, I could not be prouder to have her call me "Mommy"!

Oh. That is so beautiful Susan! :)
Beautiful--you couldn't be more her Mommy if you HAD carried her in your uterus. Carrying them in your heart (I think!) is an equally amazing undertaking! Go, Mommy (and Daddy, and brothers...)
what a sweet moment to *realize*!
ThanX for sharing that.
Oh Susan, this brought a tear to my eyes! What a big step in your relationship to no longer be just a friend...but a mother to her and the fact that she realizes how blessed she is to have you is wonderful! We need so many more "Susan moms" out there!! God Bless you!!!
What a breath taking story. I'm so happy that you shared that special memory with us. It's been fun to see the adventures LG has taken you and your family on!
First of all I love how you express yourself so openly and well and see what I have been missing by not reading your blog. Not sure you will even see this comment since it's so old.
Your update on LG is beautiful...and isn't it funny how those cherished moments can happen any time. She truely is a blessing to all of us...but most of all to you...the Mommy that deserves that loving daughter! LY..C
