Once there were two women, who never knew each other. One you do not remember, one you call Mother.
Two different lives shaped to make you one. One became your guiding star, the other became your sun.
The first one gave you life, and the second taught you how to live it. The first gave you a need for love. The second was there to give it.
One gave you a nationality. The other gave you a name. One gave you a talent. The other gave you aim.
One gave you emotions. The other calmed your fears. One saw your first sweet smile. The other dried your tears.
One sought for you a home that she could not provide. The other prayed for a child and her hope was not denied.
And now you ask me, through your tears, the age-old question unanswered through the years. Heredity or environment, which are you a product of?
Neither, my darling. Neither. Just two different kinds of love.

Oh my goodness...I sat here reading this with Lily on my lap with streams of tears falling down!! Your MK is beautiful and I love how you captured her personality in these amazing photos! I especially love the one of her dancing with the wand and the close up with her eyes looking down by her shoulder. I love this beautiful poem...miss you all! Wishing miss MK a happy birthday!!
