It wasn't the best of circumstances...I was numb from the waist down, confined to a table with my arms straight out to the side, and there was a sheet in front of me so I couldn't see what was going on. But, the moment I heard her little voice, I fell in love. The moment we first met will be a moment that I will never, ever forget. This was my baby. MY baby! I'd waited 30 years for her and there she was. So perfect, and so beautiful. Since that moment I've felt an array of emotions that I never knew possible. A love that is the most powerful love of all. A sense of pride that makes my heart ache. A bond with my husband that we never knew before we were parents together. All of these things and so many more are what make being a mother so special, and such a gift. To all of you mommys out there, you are amazing. We have the most difficult and most rewarding job in the world. We are someone's comforter. We are someone's security. We are someone's hero. We are someone's Mommy. Have a wonderfully, Happy Mother's Day!
