Happy Mother's Day to all you wonderful moms!
Before I was a Mom:
I never tripped over toys or forgot
words to a lullaby.
I didn't worry whether or not my plants
were poisonous.
I never thought about immunizations.
Before I was a Mom
I had never been puked on.
Pooped on.
Chewed on.
Peed on.
I had complete control of my mind and my
thoughts.
I slept all night.
Before I was a Mom:
I never held down a screaming child so
doctors could do tests.
Or give shots.
I never looked into teary eyes and
cried.
I never got gloriously happy over a
simple grin.
I never sat up late hours at night
watching a baby sleep.
Before I was a Mom:
I never held a sleeping baby just
because I didn't want to put her down.
I never felt my heart break into a
million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt.
I never knew that something so small
could affect my life so much.
I never knew that I could love someone
so much..
I never knew I would love being a Mom.
I didn't know the feeling of having my
heart outside my body.
I didn't know how special it could feel
to feed a hungry baby.
I didn't know that bond between a mother
and her child.
I didn't know that something so small
could make me feel so important and happy.
Before I was a Mom:
I had never gotten up in the middle of
the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay.
I had never known the warmth, the joy,
the love, the heartache, the wonderment or the satisfaction of being a
Mom.
I didn't know I was capable of feeling
so much, before I was a Mom.
Applies doubly to Grandmothers!!!
