Marriage Monday *Valentine's Day"
February 14th of 1998 we were sitting in the nursery of the daughter that I had dreamed of for 16 years. My husband looking in my eyes telling me to hold on it will be soon. I beheld the crib the quilt upon the wall. It was really going to happen. A child. We were going to have a daughter. He held me as we were so close but so far. I just looked in his eyes and I believed. He had made heaven and earth stop just for me. The desire of my heart was not diamonds or rubies... Not chocolates or trinkets but a child. I longed for 16 years to hold a child ...my child. Sitting there in the nursery we held the photo of a little girl half a world away. My little girl our daughter. A child who although not born from my body but one that grew in our hearts. That was the most memorable gift of love that I ever received from my Beloved.
