Today is the day I became a mother. It was October 24, 2000. At 1:52 in the afternoon. My screaming baby girl made her entrance. She was big. In so so many ways. I remember the first moments she spent in my arms as if they were yesterday. I studied her face and wondered how any mother could part with their flesh and blood; I wondered how mine could part with me. And I promised her that I would always protect her. Now I know that is a promise I will not be able to keep but I would give anything if I could.
She came into this world changing it. I have no doubt she will continue to do so. i owe her more than I probably owe any other person in my life. She brought me to my journey in life. With strength and beauty.
