What can I say? If I could walk, I'd be skipping around the whole day today. It's grand. I'm a MOM. I love it. I never thought I could love someone as much as I love my beautiful munchkin, and as much as I know that this Hallmark holiday is a huge marketing scheme to get some money into our economy... It feels nice to be celebrated. I don't care about gifts. I don't care about "Happy Mother's Day" salutations. I do care about the little human being that walks outside of my body to the beating rhythm of my heart, I care about the look in her face when she seems me approach her, when she plays with my hair, face, fingers and falls asleep in my arms.
Happy mother, yes, I am. Is it hard? Oh yes! Hardest job I ever endured, nonetheless, the MOST rewarding.
My daughter has brought sense to my life. She has brought love, so much of it, that it can barely fit inside. She is the best teacher I ever had and the most honest person I ever met. I look in her eye and see endless possibilities, infinite dreams, waiting for her to think them up and go at them. When I look deeper, I see her. Simple, true, child, brilliant. Brilliant creation, whether some say it's divine, and others say it's evolution.. Children are brilliant creations.
Happy mother, I am, because of my daughter, and also because I learned from a fantastic mother. I learned from amazing mothers. Ones who surround me everyday and share the gift of mothering with me as it is my first time.
Happy Mother's Day to all of you.
