Before I knew it,in a blink of an eye,I turned around and suddenly I became ....

a mother to a 24 year old.How did that happen?In these twinkling,laughing,beautiful green eyes,I am transported back,in an instant,to a time that feels as if it were just yesterday.My first born, Jessica Leigh.A child that I once believed, came to me so that I might teach her all about life but who instead along the way,taught me all about living.Entrusted to me, at a time in my life, when I hardly thought I was capable of taking care of myself, let alone a precious gift of another.Instead, I found my footing,my purpose and my way and quickly learned one of life's greatest lessons ... that at the most unexpected times and in the most inexplicable moments, often come the most extraordinary blessings.
