You can call me Mom

“You rock a sobbing child without wondering if today’s world is passing you by, because you know you hold tomorrow tightly in your arms.”

Tonight both my children were calling out to me....

For quite sometime both of my children have  referred to me as "DAD" has humorous as I and everybody that over hears them refer to me as that have found it and as awesome as it has been when I asks my sweet children "who do you want to change your bum, Mom or Dad?".....My heart has been aching to hear my sweet children call me "Mom." 

Mom is such an all encompassing word I love all it stands for..making it it such an enduring term. It is an honor (but doesn't always feel that way ;)

So tonight when they were both yelling impatiently "Mommmm, mommm" I hesitated responding and completely soaked in the moment. Sweet music to my ears. 

Smiling that I am their Mom!

Because the night they were born so was I....
