It's mother's day and I'm completely elated. I love this part of my life. I love the people that call me Mommy.I remember the day I became a mother. As I laid in that hospital, numb from the waist down, tired from the pushing and hungry because they won't let you eat while laboring, I could only think of two things. 1-I could do this again. 2-I'm a superhero. I finally understood all mothers out there. I finally understood why they wore their title with a badge of honor. I understood the love, the bond, the reason behind the lengths a mother would go to protect her tribe. I got it. I felt powerful and accomplished. I was a mother. I am forever somebody's superhero.
Happy Mother's Day to all of us.
