A message from Mom

As I sit here rocking you to sleep tonight with only the light of the muted TV on your face, I stare at the way your face glows. I study the profile of your face and think back to your sonograms where I first saw that same profile in black and white. It is in these moments that I realize things that I know I wouldn't have known at such a level had I never been a Mom.


I think to myself that I never would have realized that I'd have such a friend in you. I know as a Mom that it is not my job to be your friend; my job is to be your Mom. But at the same time, while you are so small, it is so nice to know that I'll always be one of your first friends.
