The phone call was from my agency saying I had a Mother's Day present from one of my daughter's adoptive parents. It was the cutest, most adorable photo of my 5-51/2 month old in a frame that said "I love you". The coolest Mother's Day present ever for me and it just caused me to reflect on how blessed I am and have been so I wrote this poem. Hope you enjoy it. Anne :)
