I was watching the Grammys that I DVRed, and Joy woke up. I was rocking her, and admiring how she looked in the crook of my arm...acknowledging that she wont fit there forever. I started thinking about how I cant wait till she understands how special I think she is, and how so many girls (women) have put in long hours for her to be able to shine...to be anything she wants to be. I was thinking about her namesake and how brave she was. How she was brave so that I could be here in this moment holding my daughter...and then the goose-bump moment: I look up at the TV and Carole King (one of my moms favorite singers) and Sarah Bareilles singing Brave. Yep. I started crying. One Joy is gone and another one is here, but I love when my mom reminds me that shes never that far away. #gratitude
