“Making the decision to have a child – it’s momentous. It is to decide forever to have your heart go walking around outside your body.”
– Elizabeth Stone
Motherhood, it is the most difficult job in the world, but it is also the most rewarding. To my own mother (above) who gives of her space and her time and her love daily, helping Bo and I to find our new direction. Thank you, for everything you have done, for everything you do now, and for everything you will do for us in the future. I literally wouldn’t be here without you.
And to my beautiful daughter who gave me the worlds most precious gift, there are no words to express my undying gratitude. You are the only one who knows what my heart sounds like from the inside, and I will always love you with the ferocity that I did the very first moment I laid eyes on you. May I always have the strength and patience to be the mother that you deserve.
Happy (belated) mothers day, Mama’s.

Sash - That is me 🙂 I would have been about 5 or 6 I think.

Julie - Have always loved that quote by Stone. Not only does your child know what your heart sounds like from the inside, they are the ones to steal it when they are on the outside.
Holly Sheldon - I love the look of joy in the last photo it is just like one we see on mummies after birth – so much joy. Ive just read your posts and I love it.. especially the letter to your daughter inspires me to do the same. Thank you
