33 years ago I became a mom
Miracle love I hadn’t ever felt
something that didn’t exist a moment before
I was deeply in love
I didn’t want to sleep,
I might miss something
perfection
thrill, joy, wonder and amazement
connection that I had never experienced before
I would do anything for him
protective
no manual came with him
what if I made a mistake?
defining moments in my life
31 years ago
fulfilled
overwhelmed
understanding of my parents more
purpose in life
tiny fingers
circumcision
ears
color of their skin
total dependence on me
nursing
my sons would be my teachers
feelings were intense, deep piercing,
deeper love then I had ever felt
a new awakening for both
miracle of life
2 perfect and healthy sons who changed my life forever.
They are pieces of art.
