Reflecting on what it is to be a mother seemed somewhat funny considering I've only been at it for a little over 2 months. But if I haven't earned my stripes in these last two months, well I don't see the point of the day! My little Edward is the best thing that's happened and I couldn't imagine life without him, but the little guy gave me a run for the title.
However, no matter what I've been through, it hasn't been alone. My husband, mom, mother-in-law, sisters and sister-in-law have been with me through the thick of it. Their energy, love and support helped me more than they know.
The African proverb "Ora na azu nwa" which means it takes the community/village to raise a child really comes to mind. Edward is so lucky to have so many wonderful people in his life. And I hope the list of people continues to grow! So this Mother's Day I salute everyone who has had a hand in raising a child. Your efforts may go unnoticed but you are very much loved and needed.
Love Lots,
Mommy SF
