Mama in the Making

I read this wonderful story a long time ago about the miracle that mothers are. It takes somewhere in the neighborhood of 20-30 years to see the miracle unfold, so a lot of people miss it. After reading that, I have recognized the miracle that it is when a girl becomes a woman and then a mother.
This morning I was getting ready for work. Halea was sleeping in my bed. She had fallen alseep there with her dollies last night, and I didn't have the heart to move her. So, while I was doing my hair, I heard my daughter's sweet, breathy voice say in a hushed tone, "It's ok baby, mama's got you", something I have said to her when she has been upset. I looked around the corner and there she was wrapping her dolls in my workout sweat towel and rocking them. Miracle in the making!
