Mother

“Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.”

For awhile I wasn't sure we would be able to have kids. It scared me, really scared me, because so much of my identity was based around being a mother.

Today I can't imagine life without them.

Grateful, that they give me balance,

a humbling view of my inadequacies,

and an unwavering, incomprehensible,

steady flow of love that only a child can give.

So grateful to be a mother.
