My maternity leave comes to an end in just a few days. I have to say, in all my 32 years, these days have been the most awe-filled, magical ones I've ever experienced. I'll treasure them forever.
Just like that, I became someone's mommy. Me! And today is my very first Mother's Day. When I look at my son in all his blue eyed, gummy smiling perfection, my heart overflows with hopes, dreams and prayers. And then comes overwhelming gratitude, and terrific amazement at how wonderful and mysterious this life can be.
A year ago today, my bambino was still just a secret, fervent dream of mine. And now he's sitting in a bouncy chair in the kitchen, making cooing noises to his daddy. Dreams come true, Dear Reader; truly, they do...
My mug runneth over. xoxo
