#soul searching
Dear Baby DC,
When you were almost 6 months old, we hopped on a plane, just you and me, and headed to St. Lucia (The Motherland). You were the ideal travel companion. I was scared to travel so far alone, but I had to be strong because you were with me and I knew it was something that I needed to do.
Though, the trip was for mommy to do some soul searching, our one on one time will FOREVER be something that I cherish. You were so happy in the sunshine and you loved the ocean.
My little beach bum! You smiled the entire time. I can’t even describe to you what it does to my spirit when I walk into a room and you smile and laugh at me, but you were loved up like crazy by EVERYONE in The Motherland, not just me.
The live slow lifestyle of the island agreed with you and you were HAPPY!
I wasn’t expecting your happiness to rub off on me the way that it did, but it did me wonders. We cuddled together, laughed, lounged on the beach, sang songs and I fell so deep in love with your perfect little spirit. You helped me more than you will ever know. Your love is magic and I will forever be thankful for the time we spent in paradise together…just the two of us!
It’s true you’ve seen paradise, but I see paradise and a constant reminder of finding inner peace EVERY TIME I look at you. Thank you.
I love you
