Twenty four years ago today I became a Mom. Mommy. Mother. Momma.I always wanted to be a mommy.
I took care of my baby-dolls.
I learned how to change a diaper
and hold a baby
and wrap a baby in a receiving blanket
and burp a baby
all with my dolly.
As I grew older I played with little children.
I took babies from their moms at church
(now I know how much those moms loved that!)
I was the supreme baby-sitter.
I thought I had it all figured out
when that day came, 24 years ago.
And there was a lot I DID have figured out.
But there was a lot that I didn't even KNOW about,
let alone know how to figure it out.
It has been a curious journey,
being a mother.
I didn't know it could be so funny.
I didn't know it would be so hard.
I didn't know I would be so protective.
I didn't know I would love so fiercely.
I didn't know so much would be required of me.
To my very core.
