This past month God gave a daughter.
From the very first day I was obsessed with her gerber baby chubby cheeks. Soon after, she fell asleep in my lap and the rest was history.
Jokingly her mother asked me to take her back to America with me and I had a very, very hard time telling her no.
The first time we left the village she cried and cried and I couldn’t even bring myself to look at her.
Then, when we came back she ignored me for a day like she was mad at me. She would come and sit by me so she knew that I saw her, but wouldn’t look at me and acted like she couldn’t hear me when I talked to her.
This so very sassy attitude repeated. Every. Single. Time. We. Left. The. Village.
But by the next day I would tickle her until she let out a smile and we would just laugh and laugh the rest of the day.
Leaving this baby girl broke my heart in a way I wasn’t prepared for and I’m ever so confused by the idea of motherhood.
But I’ve come to the conclusion that the joy and laughter and love far outweighs the heartbreak and being a mother is one of the greatest gifts that the Lord gives us.
So hit me up if you lookin for a baby mama.
Here is a picture of me and my child.
Love,
Banana
