I saw you coming from afar...

Michelle and me

My wonderful cousin Michelle had her baby today. She named her sweet baby girl Kaylee Maree. Her middle name is for me.

I am overwhelmed and grateful. I feel so honoured. I feel like a priceless gift has been given to me and I can't believe the depth of love that Michelle has for me. A love so deep that she named the child that she and Leon created after me. The most important person in their lives bears my name.

I often think I do not belong in this world. In this time and this place. I am impatient to leave sometimes. But I know I must stay for this tiny life who is newly arrived, for this sweet child whom I started loving the moment I knew she existed.

Kaylee Maree, I saw you coming from afar and you are beautiful.
