From Diapers to Boxers

"for my son"

The days of diapers have long since passed

now that precious son of mine is in boxers...

The time in between~priceless
I remember the first two years as if it were 
yesterday

With his challenges I wondered if he was going
to stay or choose to go.

My heart in fear did not open fully
Until today... it took me from diapers to
boxers to realize that in one single moment
my heart opened to the beauty of that love as 
a Mother.

It wasn't just opening for him but for all the 
children in all my lives

It was complicated, yet whole
purpose, with unmeasurable love

He's not just the one, he's my many~
How blessed am I to receive the honor
of being a Mother...to all~
