My madre
Mama, Mother, Mom, Madre....There are many other names for incredible women who mother in so many different ways. The line of mothering examples in my life is amazing...my own mom, two sweet and loving grandmothers, countless aunts, friends and 3 make that 4 awesome sisters.
Well, my daily life doesn't require using many of my "mothering" skills. But a few weeks back I had a pretty cool experience staying with CH's rugrats. I mean I've done my fair share of babysitting. Lots and lots of babysitting-I'm the oldest girl of 5-so lots and lots of it. I love these kiddos, right but as I tried to work, watch kids, play with kids, feed kids, wipe kids bums, feed kids, dress kids....on and on....you get the picture I was overwhelmed with such gratitude for mothers. You are all such selfless, giving, loving women. I'm not sure I could do it. So for what it's worth thank you. Thank you for your examples for giving of yourselves for the bettering of others. I hope to one day follow in your footsteps with my own kiddos. Small disclaimer is that I maybe leaning, grasping, crying on your shoulders.
