A MOM.
Here is a big hug to all of the moms out there. None of us would be here if it weren’t for our Mothers. I hope everyone had a great day celebrating mothers yesterday. In honor of the day, here are a few of my favorite mom quotes…“
-When you are looking at your mother, you are looking at the purest love you will ever know.” —Charley Benetto
“My Mother: She is beautiful, softened at the edges and tempered with a spine of steel. I want to grow old and be like her. ”
—Jodi Picoult
“Motherhood is the exquisite inconvenience of being another person’s everything.” —Unknown
“To describe my mother would be to write about a hurricane in its perfect power.” —Maya Angelou
“Motherhood is the biggest gamble in the world. It is the glorious life force. It’s huge and scary – it’s an act of infinite optimism.”
—Gilda Radner
I am especially grateful to the birthmothers that made it possible for me to be a mom to Casey and Chloe.
In my opinion, birthmothers are superheros.
