[...] We had eight years and two children together just to spite you, you know. [...]

Life is beautiful! to give one is amazing and to see one form is surreal. Mothers are truly the closest thing to God.

This is truly beautiful. If only every child felt this kind of love from her/his mother, the world would be such a better place.

Thank you for baring your soul for your fabulous daughter, and for letting the rest of us see.

Hugs and butterflies,

For all the sins of my youth, the stupidity and such, I would not change one single thing that brought my 3 children into my life. For that alone I have no regrets.

Your writing is a blessing to you and your children. Much like the songs of a singer, your writing is something special from you to them. Just wonderful!

@Renee Michelle (Michelmustro), It amazes me that I’ve only been a mother for six years. It feels like I have always been a mama; and yet I’m a perpetual beginner. I’m more glad of my unwavering love – ok, it flickers sometimes in moments of profound exasperation – than I am for any parenting philosophy, advice or book. It carries me through my insecurities.

@Lindsey, Her birthday is next week and I was thinking of your birthday letters to your children. A beautiful tradition. Mine aren't the only lucky ones. xo

@Nicki, thank you so much. I wrote it in the fierce grip of missing-my-baby-who's-away-on-Easter-weekend.

@Annabel, it is fierce and gentle thing, to be a mama.

@Tracy Todd, You're a stronger, more resolved woman than me. I have many, many regrets about many, MANY things - but not, of course, about my children. As Dani Shapiro writes, they are "sacred" to me and the only thing of substance I have ever done (and am doing).
