Today is a very special day. It is Mother's Day. And I think this year it is even more special to me because it is my first Mother's Day as a mommy. Today made me reflect on how much I love my own mother, and how much she has loved me, believed in me, and how much support she has provided me over the years, and continues to provide. And to my mother-in-law who has been so caring, loving, and supportive since she came into my life. I just hope that I can strive to be as good of a mother to Nolan, as the mothers in my life have been to me!
A poem for mothers: by Susan Polis Schutz
For as long as I can remember
you were always by my side
to give me support
to give me confidence
to give me help
For as long as I can remember
you were the person
I looked up to
so strong
so sensitive
so pretty
For as long as I can remember
and still today
you are everything
a mother should be
For as long as I can remember
you always provived stability
full of laughter
full of tears
full of love
Whatever I become
is because of you
and I thank you
forever for our relationship.
