17 Years Ago

17 years ago, Mother’s Day was on Sunday.

17 years ago, local TV programming included the movies “Mary Poppins”, and “Mr. Mom”

17 years ago, I didn’t sleep much at all the night before

17 years ago, I didn’t get to eat all day

17 years ago, all the hard work and inconveniences paid off BIG time.

DS1 made his debute and I became a mom.

And after everyone left, he and I started to get acquainted.

And so it continues to this day. I’m so glad he’s my boy.

    Happy birthday to you both.

    What a lovely post. I remember that day distinctly. It was the day that I realized, on day 5 of motherhood, that everything was different. What I did from that moment on mattered significantly to what would become of my child.

    All the best!
