5/12/2013: Mother's Day

In the past few years, I've had many firsts - but not one has been as rewarding and beautiful as the first that has made me a mother. The first pregnancy, the first child being born to a first mother and father, the first time of overwhelming feelings of love, wonder, and gratitude for a tiny human being that has completely and eternally found a place in my heart, the first time really understanding what my mom has meant all these years (I get it now, Mom)... and now the first Mother's Day. I have been given a perfect day- and while I don't want it to end, I look forward to cherishing the memories from today for years to come.
