“His little hands stole my heart… and his little feet ran away with it.” Anonymous
When I was in my twenties, I never imagined I’d want children. They seemed expensive, overwhelming, and a whole lot of work. Besides, I had so much to do – travel to all of the great places in the world, find my beach house, change the world.
At the age of 30 though, my priorities changed; suddenly, a baby made sense. And the day that I became a Mom is the day I realized that I’d never go back. There is something so amazing about this little part of you – so dependent and adorable. I remember spending hours just looking at my babies, imagining what they were thinking and wondering who they would become.
Now that they’re 15 and 12, “who they would become” is unfolding before my eyes. It’s awe inspiring to see what interests them, where their strengths lie, what makes them tick. The fact that there’s a holiday to celebrate Moms makes sense to me, for we get to celebrate our children every day of our lives.
