In my daughter's eyes

More than anything Dan and I wanted to have Danica photographed before we head into this next surgery. Christina Adam of Grace Designs Photography took these amazing photos of our girl last Friday. We had been scheduled for a spring mini shoot for both girls, but the Saturday rains kept delaying. Christina blessed us by watching the weather reports and coming out as soon as a little sun peeked through the clouds to capture some sweet moments.













"In my daughter's eyes" (written by James Slater and sung by Martina McBride) has been the title song on the soundtrack of Danica's life. Every one of these photos reminds me how brave and beautiful she is.

In my daughter's eyes I am a hero
I am strong and wise and I know no fear
But the truth is plain to see
She was sent to rescue me
I see who I wanna be
In my daughter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes everyone is equal
Darkness turns to light and the
world is at peace
This miracle God gave to me gives me
strength when I am weak
I find reason to believe
In my daughter's eyes

And when she wraps her hand
around my finger
Oh it puts a smile in my heart
Everything becomes a little clearer
I realize what life is all about

It's hangin' on when your heart
has had enough
It's giving more when you feel like giving up
I've seen the light
It's in my daughter's eyes

In my daughter's eyes I can see the future
A reflection of who I am and what will be
Though she'll grow and someday leave
Maybe raise a family
When I'm gone I hope you see how happy
she made me
For I'll be there
In my daughter's eyes

(These photos also inspired a template change for her blog.)
