Happy Mother`s Day

Happy Mother's Day. I hope that you have a wonderful day. Thank you for letting me share in it in some small way.

I don't know what it's like to be a mother. But I do know what it's like to see your heart, your breath, your love, some part of you that you did not know exist - all of that and more - take the form of a pink bundle of flesh like sausage links - screaming itself purple in the first moments of life outside.

I know what its like to see your entire world changed in an instant - suddenly feeling as proud as the most important person in the world - and incredibly humble at the miracle of this new life in your hands.

I know what it's like to be awed by creating such a perfect being and holding your child in your arms for the first time. Your life now siting in your arms... I know that feeling...

And I have had the great privilege to watch you with your child. The interaction between the two of you fascinates and awes me. I can see that she is your heart. You should be proud.

You are a wonderful mother.
