december 8

will i ever feel normal again? or, does being a parent mean that one's heart resides outside the body? it's a little eery. whenever i am away from my baby eve, i feel as if a piece of me is missing. and, it's not restored until i am in her presence again. will this always be the case or is it something i will grow out of? if this is my new normal, it's a little painful, and will need God's grace as i continually acknowledge that ultimately, she belongs to Him.

i'm guessing it'll be permanent... although i don't know how that will work when she grows up! fortunately we don't have to think about that any time soon!
