Some of you may have noticed the quote I recently added towards the top of our blog. It is from a Celine Dion song called "Miracle". A friend of mine gave me her CD entitled the same after we brought Alex home. The first time I heard the song, I cried. It has so many beautiful lines in it that I can relate to and makes me think of how I feel about Alex. First,:

"You break my heart with tenderness" so perfectly describes how I feel everytime I look into Alex's eyes...everytime he smiles at me, or even just gazes in my direction, or when he's sleeping so sweetly. He breaks my heart with tenderness. I just love him so much. Which leads to the next part of the verse:

"I never knew a love like this til you". I always imagined what it would be like to be a Mommy. I knew I would love my child, but there was no way for me to imagine just how much I would love. I never knew I could love this much. Don't get me wrong, I love Jay and my family and friends, and Buddy, of course. It's just a different kind of love. Alex has filled my heart with a kind of love I never knew was possible, a kind of love that fills me up with so much joy, so much fulfillment, so much goodness...it is indescribable really. We are so blessed!
