I am a person of great extremes, my baby girl however is not. She has rode the waves of my guidance be it good and bad. There are many days that I pray for her to be strong, safe and more intelligent than I have been at making her life decisions. I came to Dallas to be near some of the greatest people that I know. It was an easy decision for me to come to because thats how I do things, in great leaps I decide, hmmm I think I'll pack up the half of my family that I am still allowed to live with, sell everything I own except what fits in my wonderful old Chrysler and move two thousand and some odd miles away from the town I thought I'd never leave. I didn't get truly scared until I'd been here awhile, then I started worrying that I'd made a huge mistake. Megan made it perfectly clear that she thought I had. Slowly but surely the love that helped raise my sisters and touched me from afar for all those years began to soften my tough little girl. Yesterday at church she approached one of those lovely people, of her own accord and gave him a hug. For those of you who know my girl, you all know that this was nothing short of amazing, her walls slowly coming down and allowing people to love her. Be soft and gentle Megan, just as one book tells me thats the meaning of your name. It's the best way to live as I too am slowly but surely realizing. I'm grateful for the way God teaches us, His love is limitless.
