EVERY DAY IS MOTHER'S DAY

A baby! What a remarkable creation…I remember our first night together… how I could not help but stare…thinking how…only a day ago…he wasn’t even there. Thinking back on how…exactly…this moment came to be… wondering how something so beautiful…began his life inside of me. Asking myself as I held him…looking down on him from up above… is it possible…is it even conceivable…to so quickly fall in love? And for the first time in both our lives as I watched my baby sleeping when I felt the softness of his skin…the roundness of his head… his ears…his nose…his mouth…I had to stop myself from weeping… I remember thinking to myself…is there anything more beautiful… more heavenly…more innocent…more sweet… and then he moved his little hands…and kicked his little feet. I put my hand upon his chest to calm him…and there I let it linger… soon his entire baby hand had found its way around my little finger. And as he held on to my finger…I found myself hoping he’d never let it go… wishing this moment could last forever…yet…knowing he will grow… Knowing I will do my best to keep him safe from sorrow and from harm… Knowing there will come a day…when I can no longer hold him in my arms. But I was not sad or worried at that moment…as I stared at him from up above… because…as inconceivable as it sounds…at that moment… I understood a mother’s love… I knew immediately…though I cannot explain the how, what, why…or when… that each day…as he grows a little older… I will fall in love again. I understood how from that moment on…until I’m old and gray… every day I’m blessed to rise…will be another Mother’s Day. HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!
