June 2nd Nineteen eighty nine

HEY! I wrote this on the night of June first before Meg's birthday the next day. I thought it got lost, but I just found it in "drafts"! I'm such a baby-blogger - no idea what I'm doing. Anyway - here it is and I had tried to post a pic in there, but it wouldn't load, so I will try again .... Nope - picture isn't loading. Here's the post anyway..... * Seventeen years ago tomorrow I had my first daughter. Which means that seventeen years ago tonight was the last night I wasn't a mother. You know that e-mail that goes around about all moms feel? It's like using a seed to describe a forest ... way too inadequate to say all that is felt when you have a child. When I look at those blue eyes & that freckled face and I watch her growing into a young woman -- well, sometimes I just see her and I can't believe she's mine and she's so wonderful! Happy Birthday to Meg! Your mom is a big ole mush pot of snot and tears now. :)
