Tomorrow is my last day of work outside of the home. Tomorrow is the last day that I will wake up, grab the baby, change her diaper, grab a bottle and dash down to the basement office to log into work. Tomorrow is the last day that I will sit in this basement office listening to the laughter and cries of my daughter. Tomorrow is the last day that I shed tears, agonizing over missing precious time of my child's babyhood.
My life over the past several years has been smothered in change. Moving across the country, starting a new job, finding a new home, making new friends. Then getting engaged, then married. Then losing our precious Hope, followed by losing little Noah. Finally getting pregnant with Samantha, giving birth, surviving the NICU and bringing her home.
Tomorrow is the start of a new journey for my little family. One that I know will involve challenges and struggles, frustration and heartache. I also know that it will be the most rewarding change thus far. One that I know will involve smiles and laughter, hugs and milestones met.
Tomorrow is a new Me...and I welcome tomorrow with open arms!
