[Dailydrool] I am a Mom

[Rose Hughes]

I am a Mom:  My house is much messier than it was before my children arrived, but my house is now a home.
 I am a Mom:  I don't travel as much as I used to, but now home is my favorite place to be.
 I am a Mom:  Because of my kids, I wake up much earlier than I'd like to, but being greeted by them is the best way to start the day.
 I am a Mom:  When they're sick, I worry.  When they can't sleep, I can't sleep.  When they need a doctor, I take them.  When they need medicine, they get it, no matter the cost.  When they are well, I exhale, and say thank you.
 I am a Mom:  When I decided I wanted them, I knew my life would change, but I didn't realize how much I would.
... I am a Mom:  If one of my children were lost, my world would stop until he was found.
 Unlike most Moms of human children, I will probably outlive all of mine, and my greatest act of Motherly love will be to be with them when they go.  It is something I try not to think about, but I will do it, because I am a Mom.
 
This was written by yours truly as a Happy Mother's Day to those of us who have children, even if some people (those who just don't get it) might not think we do.
