sometimes taylor says it best.

Now I know why all the trees change in the Fall

I know you were on my side even when I was wrong

And I love you for giving me your eyes

For staying back and watching me shine

I didn't know if you knew, so I'm takin' this chance to say

That I had the best day with you today

The nine months I have spent as Carly's mother have been the greatest nine months of my life.

But they have also been the hardest nine months of my life.

And they have taught me how very lucky I am to be blessed with my wonderful mother/best friend/example. Motherhood is no easy thing. But my mother makes it look easy.

I am who I am because of her. I hope Carly can proudly say that about me some day.

Merci, ma mere.

Je t'aime.
