Motherhood

You, who never wanted to be a parent, but through life's events has landed raising two boys and, as we watch them grow into strong, proud young men and others don't understand because you are so "good at it" and they ask why you don't want to raise some "of your own" and are incredulous at the intensity of your denial because they cannot possibly understand what it means for someone who is incapable of giving anything less than all there is, I want you to understand, that I do.

Happy Mother's Day, my dear.
