Motherhood

Photo taken as part of my Maternity Session--Kelley-Photo

It's a love that is fierce.

It is a bedtime story.

It's a protection that can rise up against anything.

It is a kiss on a boo-boo.

It's a journey that is winding & unpredictable.

It is a snuggle mid afternoon.

It's a part of the heart awakened for the first time.

It is peanut butter toast for breakfast.

It's a love with no conditions.

It is a bathtub filled with bubbles.

It's a quest to do right.

It is a living room scattered with toys.

It's a slice of humble pie.

It is one of life's greatest privileges.

It's a little boy who calls me "Mommy".

It is Motherhood.

To the sweet boy who calls me "Mommy"--thank you.

Thank you for taking me on the most wild & precious journey I have ever been on. Thank you for teaching my heart to love in a way I had never known before. Thank you for the smiles & giggles & tantrums you fill up my days with. Thank you for the the joy you bring to this life of mine.

Thank you, my little boy, for making me a momma.
