It's weird that I am going to actually celebrate Mother's day on the receiving end this year. Normally, of course, we celebrate with Matt's mom and My mom as grateful children. Actually, this year even that aspect of Mother's day has more meaning to me. Now that I'm a mother myself, I've gained a deeper appreciation of my own mother. I certainly already appreciated everything she did for us through the years of our childhood and beyond, but I guess it took becoming a mother myself to really understand (and I'm sure that understanding will just become deeper as the years go on...my kid's only 11 weeks old right now).
I got an email today that had a nice simple thought in it, so I'll share it:
When the sun is born, so is the day
When the night is born, so are a thousand stars...
and a wish that has just come true
When you were born, so was I
When a baby is born, so is a mother.
