Brief and Late Mother's Day thoughts

For me, being a mom is about "getting" and "love".

You get to love no longer wearing "nice" clothes because you've become a personal tissue.

You get to love the purple bags under your eyes because of the loss of sleep. 

You get to love the perpetual mess your home has become.

But most of all, you get to look at your children and see them as only a mother could: a perfect miracle. 

And then you get to smile. 

I do. 

And I love it.
