"Mommy's" Ballerina Girl

When I was a little girl I loved to dance! Ballet was my favorite, I was the little girl that always was dressed up in the ballet outfit dancing around the room. I started taking lessons when I was about 4 and ended at age 16. I was what they called a “Pre-Professional” I guess it’s because a was not old enough to be a regular Professional?!
The day we found out we were having a girl I remember thinking “I cant wait to teach her ballet and for her to be my little ballerina” I was so excited! This was one of many things that I had looked forward to years ago about having a baby girl! In another 4 or 5 months I would see my baby girl and then just a short while after that start teaching her to dance! I could not wait. This could be something we shared together, just like my Mother and I had when I was little. But little did I know that would be lea.jpg)
st of my worries.
Another moment I will never forget was the moment the Ophthalmologist looked at me and said “She was blind” everything went blank. I wanted so much for my precious little girl. Now she might not even be able to see my face, let alone be a ballerina! I was heartbroken. Everything went through my head! “How it’s not fair, I Never smoked, drank, took all my vitamins, I did everything right!! How could this be happening to her! To us! I felt as if my dreams for her were shattered in the matter of a moment.
She is 10 months old now and the light of my life! I thank God everyday for her! She is the most amazing blessing I have ever receive. Someone told me once that “God does not give us Children like ours to punish us but, because he trust us with them and it takes someone special to raise them”. I will never forget that! I think about that statement often, to me it means so much but the main thing is that I will do everything in my power to giver her all the things she needs while we are here on earth! No matter what she will always be my little ballerina!
