i was told once...to let go of jealousy, fear and pride. i have thought often of these things...they are feelings everyone has, but i understand just why i need to let them go personally...they have held me back my entire life. they keep me from accomplishing, from living, from loving. i was given a gift in camden, i know he was made specifically for me, because i need him. i needed a moment, a glimpse of my broken self, i needed to be torn down so that i could be built back up...and who better to put those peices of my heart back than a child so unconditionally full of love, a child who will undoubtedly face and combat jealousy, fear and pride in the people around him everyday of his life. i have learned so much in just two short years...about love, about the things that are important in life, about myself. i have learned to let go of a lot of things...and i still struggle every day with the aforementioned demons in my life...but i know camden is slowly picking me up off that hospital floor every day...that he is putting me back together the way i needed to be put back together. and i am ever so thankful for my tiny, beautiful gift.

This was beautiful Tonya.
ReplyDeleteLady - this is why I love you. You are so insightful and inspiring.
ReplyDeleteI think that we all get the same lessons in life - they just manifest themselves in a unique and individual ways. I too struggle with the same things (jealousy, fear, pride) and pray that I can overcome it all with half as much grace and beauty as you have deomonstrated in the last two years.
Love you girl. (and can't wait for sushi tonight!)
I really wish we could be friends IRL. This is exactly how I feel...beautifully written!
ReplyDeleteAwww Ton you are so sweet. You are the best mom I know, seriously
