Those moments of commiserating. A friendly smile from a fellow mom. The moment you meet your mama BFF. Those moments of unspoken sympathy and understanding from the other mom in Target while your toddler has a melt down. The explosive feeling of having your heart live outside your body… that moment that all moms experience. That single moment when you realize you no longer live for yourself. Those are the moments that unite us in motherhood.
Four years ago today I became a mother. HAPPY BIRTHDAY DECLAN. And we will celebrate him tonight and this weekend but today I am also going to celebrate those moments over the past four years where I have felt united by the bonds of motherhood.
