Motherhood is listening to those two miracles playing "Doggy" upstairs while I work at my computer, hearing snip-its of their conversations and their arguments, wondering at who they are becoming. Motherhood is a tiny but mighty baby girl, born looking up at the sky, bruised and purple across her forehead from a tough entrance into the world. a crying, perfect baby boy, fresh from heaven and placed on my chest-not by a doctor but by a courageous birthmother who wanted me to be the first to hold him. So many thanks to moms all over the world sharing their story, their Motherhood quote is a sentence for all of you to read, enjoy and share. And that? That can be the greatest gift of all. When you read these they will make you laugh, make you cry, give you perspective aand will ultimately remind you that you are not alone on this journey.
I asked some of my mom friends if they could answer the question "Motherhood is. It’s never just one thing, cemented into the dictionary, but is rather a moving cacophony of adjectives and emotions and realities that one day will sound exquisite.Īnd sometimes it’s helpful to get a glimpse into someone else’s Motherhood story. That’s the nature of describing motherhood. And right then is probably also the moment when the kids fight over whose turn it is on the computer. And yet, there are moments when I can step back and the words about motherhood come flowing to me and the perspective of the sacredness of these years hits my heart deeply. It would probably be based on your day, honestly, as I could fill mine in with words like frustrating or messy or confusing. I bet you could fill that in with your own description.
