mother's day 2013

i will always be grateful for this millie of mine. she will forever be the one who made me a mother.

and a mother is exactly what i've always wanted to be. 

the day she was born, everything changed. our lives changed, our hearts grew a little bigger, our savings grew a little smaller and i became a mother. suddenly the world became a much bigger & scarier place because now it is the world in which i have to raise my daughter. suddenly i am more cautious when walking up stairs and crossing the street, because now my entire world resides in a wobbly little body with only two teeth. she is mine to mold & to care for during her time here on earth.

i wouldn't trade the responsibility for anything.

i love being a mother!

& thank you to my two mothers, you are both beautiful examples of grace & strength to me!
