As
I sip the morning elixir - I chose fresh-ground Italian Roast for this
morning's brew...my favorite - I've a quiet moment to reflect on the
significance of this day. Well, every day, really. I've been a mother
for 29 years, and the idea that these two fine men decided to choose me
as their mom still amazes me and fills my heart with gratitude.
It's been quite a romp. From the moment I held Doug in my arms,looked into that sweet little, pissed-off face and murmured, "I hope you know what you're doing, baby...because I'm not so sure that I do," to holding Dylan's little hand as he skipped along beside me and filled me in on the daily meanderings of his 5-year-old mind, to the privilege I have of gazing into both of their beautiful, now-masculine faces, I can honestly say what a blessing it's all been. A crazy, overwhelming, deeply astonishing, absolutely frightening, heart-melting, love-filled romp...and I wouldn't have missed it for the world.
I love you, my babies. Thank you so very, very much for showing up. ♥
Happy Mother's Day, everyone.
