Today

This morning I have a sweet little girl asking to be rocked and snuggled. In her short two years of living we've only known each other six months and she almost certainly won't be here forever. I'm only a stepping stone to the Mom who will eventually adopt her.

Today.

This morning.

She calls me Momma and wants to rock. Her eyes twinkle and she knows love. She burrows her face in my neck and I breath in her sweetness deeply. Her soft dark brown locks that don't quite match my own tickle my face and her little fingers pat my back as I pat hers. Today she has a Dad who will tickle her and toss her in the air just to hear her shriek with joy. Today she has sisters aplenty, who she undoubtably will squabble with over the toys, but there will also be hugs and shared secrets and laughter amongst them.

I never know what tomorrow will bring.

Today.

Today we love.

Like there is no tomorrow.
