A day in the life: Cotton Planting

It's 10:54pm on a Tuesday.  Doug is still planting away at the field.  My dedicated, hard working, passionate farmer has been known to log some long days.  The past few weeks I realize just how often.  We miss him when he's not home for supper with us. My eyes grow weary waiting on him to get home safely.  The kids ask when Daddy will be home.

Big, brown, beautiful eyes stared back at me. I couldn't take my eyes off of you. A life, a real human being, she was mine. That day I gave you my middle name and also my heart, forever. Today you are still quiet, still, and breathtaking. Those big, brown, beautiful eyes still melt my heart and I never will take my eyes off of you. The time you bless us with is the most precious gift one can receive, thank you!  When you were just Four or Five you loved playing with your "doctor kit". Everyone was a patient and you were the doctor of the house. My favorite phrase may forever be, "Mama, let me hear your heart beep". My heart will always "beep" to the sound of yours. I know you will one day pursue your goals and dreams and will make a fine...
