to the boy who made me a mother

My patience has never been tested so much. 

I have never been more tired. 

I never had to wake up so early. 

I have never been more productive. 

My body has been pushed to its limits. 

My emotions have too. 

Every weakness of mine has been magnified 

and strengthened. 

I never thought such a little person, 

with literally no knowledge about the world, 

could teach me and stretch me more than anything or anyone has before. 

Nothing prepared me for motherhood. 

But I have gained everything because of it. 

Every day I am amazed at this little son of mine. 

Every day he pushes me to be better than I am. 

Every day I think my job is to raise him when really he is training me. 

I love this sweet, spunky, energetic, smart, determined, loving, and beautiful little boy. 

He made me a mother. 

And every day I am trying hard to be the mother that he (and his baby sister) deserve! 

I hope you all had a wonderful Mother's Day with those you love!
