An Early Wish for all Mothers (thanks, Barb!)

I have been a mother for almost 25 years. Yep - I can't believe it either! In '82, I became a different person. Becoming a mother means that your heart can jump at the same time a tear forms at the corner of your eye and a smile is on your face. Emotions are constant and endless...and could change in a second. You have to be ready for anything and expect everything. Memories are a constant companion and private diary of the years you spent being a friend, a mentor, a teacher, and a guide to your children. I anticipate the years ahead and cherish those that are past.
