how do you know?

1531731_10151916076321266_56487323_nIn the morning, almost like clockwork, I go into Emily’s bedroom to help her get the day started.  A kiss.  A snuggle.  A sippy cup of milk and her seizure medication.  A text or ten to Nicole,  then I open her blinds, pick out her clothes and wait for her to ask for the iPad and something to eat using her Go Talk.

I love you Emily.  You give meaning to the word joy.  I cannot imagine being any happier – or- how I ever dreamed that I was happy before you came into my life.  Thank you for putting a smile on my face.

I asked an interesting question the other day.  Ashley and I were talking about love and I asked her…. how do I know if Emily loves me?  “If she loves you? Mom, Emily is IN LOVE with you”  she said without hesitation.

My heart melted as I thought about how powerful Ashley’s words just were.  How could my child who couldn’t speak ever tell me she loved me?  How would I know?

Just the fact that her very existence depends on all of the things must I do for her.  I really never need to hear the words from her mouth I love you Mom, because I feel it.  I feel it when I look into Emily’s eyes and I feel it running through my soul.  Sure I would love to hear them one day.  But I don’t need to.

Because I know.
