Mother's Day 2012

Me and you

Sweet baby.

It's Mother's Day. I'm not sure what the world wants for mothers on Mother's Day, but I know what it means to me. It's a day - but not the only day - for counting blessings. I became a mother when I had you, and you are a perfect gift. I don't want a day at the spa, or a pedicure, or a nap by the pool. I want to pet your soft tummy, give you sips of my water, read books to you, and hold you close.

When you lean your head against me, I feel perfectly happy. When I hear you talk or even breathe, I'm sure there's never been a sweeter sound in the world. You are like music in my soul.

Sometimes I am convinced that my heart beats because your heart beats.

Thank you for Mother's Day, my love.

HA!
