Precious Moments

"Life isn't a matter of milestones, but of moments."
- Rose Kennedy
I have always admired Mrs. Rose Kennedy for this quote, but it wasn't until July 2008, when I had my daughter Haleigh, that I realized what she was really meaning.
At only three months old, she's the most amazing little person. Since she was born, I have watched her grow and learn so much, and within that time I finally realized exactly what Mrs. Kennedy was talking about. It's not how much she learns when she's young; it's those cute, little things she does while she's learning.
Rose Kennedy was a very strong woman and a loving, nurtering mother of nine. Her son presented the Tribute of Motherhood award, to Mrs. Kennedy in 1990, on her 100th birthday. Her life was filled with joys and happiness watching her children grow, and I am sure that I will experience those same joys and happiness watching Haleigh grow.
