First born

I can’t fight the chills (the emotional, I may cry kind) when I read this excerpt by Amy Wruble:

“You’re my favorite person in the whole world” is not something you’re going to hear me say anymore. Not only is it unfair to Daddy, but it really won’t go over well with your baby sister, once she’s born and learns to talk. For now, though, it’s hard not to keep thinking it.

You, you, you. You’re the one who burst my heart wide open. You taught me what wild, uncontrollable, unlimited, unconditional love feels like. You changed everything. You turned me into a mom.”

I focus on families and mamas and papas so much, all the time, but this week, especially, for Mother’s Day, feel all the feels.
