Being a mother... it's not so much what we do, but who we become as we grow into motherhood, that defines us.

Our days are filled with the most trivial of responsibilities, and the most awesome. We learn just how far our patience can be stretched and just how tender our hearts can become. We face our true selves as we face our children, and they love us right through it.

What a privilege to share in the awesome work of growing little hearts and minds! You have been giving the greatest of callings... live it with joy!
