Motherhood

"As my child grows, I do too. I have discovered that motherhood is not the whole of who I am, but it is an integral part. I will never be who I was before my children were born, and I wouldn't want to be.  I have learned that love requires not only hugs and smiles, but also firmness and discipline. It means saying "no" and keeping to it, even though there is always a part of me that longs to say "yes". I have learned that this little being who is a part of me, is also separate from me, as well. My daughter has a will of her own. My son can say "no" as firmly as I can - and mean it!  And through the ebb and flow of life, as years pass by, both myself and my children draw near and pull away, laugh and cry, remember and dream.  Motherhood is a willing sacrifice, a fulfillment, a never-ending task, and a limitless love."
