TO A FUTURE MOTHER

Years ago, my sweet niece Jackie gave me a homemade card that had written on the front, "To A Future Mother". I thought of that card every Mother's Day and I can't tell you the number of times it made me tear up because I knew deep down in my heart I would never be a mother.


Well, what can I say. I was wrong. And today my eyes would well up every time someone talked about their mothers on TV because...I am one. And now I get to worry about things like, how do you cut the hair of a 5 month old and how much does it cost?

Oh the times, they are a-changin'.

Many, may years ago when you were a young girl you would come to my house for dinner with your family. My husband and I had no children and loved having you and your sibs at our house. Many years later (14?) we had a little girl. I know the feeling well that you describe. So happy for you. Love your style.

This brought a tear to my eyes, also, that I just don't get to see you and this little boy. He is one lucky fellow.
