Who Motherhood Made Me
Having a child is a magical thing, not only do you provide them life for 9 months before they are born, you raise and shape them into someone you are proud of. But you are not only shaping them, they are shaping you also. In just 9 short months my son has shaped me into the person I am today and continues to shape me to be a better person everyday. He has taught me the true meaning of loving someone despite their flaws and the big picture is always made up of beautiful, little details.

My son has taught me a number of things, but teaching me how to live is by far the greatest
