Best thing that ever happened to me was becoming a mom. I love it. Every minute. It is a thankless job, but I love it.
Strange, but I never wanted to be a mom. That is until I began to hear that "clock" everyone talks about. It is real. Weird, but true. At that time, T had just completed treatment for his brain tumor. It was like a beginning. A new life. I remember I came home one day and blurted out "I want to have a baby!" T looked at me and said...."Okay." After months of trying, I said, "Let's adopt." He said, "Okay." Then at the very same time we said..."China!!"
When the Empress was placed in my arms it began. Motherhood. A love affair that will last my whole life. I used to be the person who refused to hold her friends new babies. I used to be the person who was uncomfortable around children, who commented on unruly kids, and the lack of discipline parents were using. Today I am a mom and all that has changed. The Empress is the best thing that ever happened. She changed my life. She opened my heart.
Happy Mother's Day....the best day ever.
