A salute to Mommy's and Grammy's

Before I was a Mom I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby. I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous. I never thought about immunizations. Before I was a Mom- I had never been puked on. Pooped on. Chewedon. Peed on. I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts. I slept all night. Before I wasa Mom I never held down a screaming child so doctors could do tests. Or give shots. I never looked into teary eyes and cried. I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin. I never sat up late hours at nigh****ching a baby sleep. Before I was a Mom I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put it down. I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt. I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much. I never knew I could lovesomeone so much. I never knew I would love beinga Mom. Before I was a Mom- I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body. I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby. I didn't know the bond between a mother and her child. I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important and happy. Before I was a Mom- I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay. I had never know the warmth, The joy, The love, The heartache, The wonderment or the satisfaction of beinga Mom. I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much before I was a Mom. And before I was a Grandma, I didn't know that all those "Mom" feelings more than doubled when you see that little bundle being held by "your baby"... Send this to someone who you think is a special Mom or Grandma. I just did. And remember that behind every successful mother... I s a basket od dirty laundry. I hope this means as much to all my good friends on here as it does to me. Peace, Connie
