Without my little chicks

Mother's Day would be just another Sunday.

Is there anything that compares to becoming a Mother?

Because I cannot think of one that even comes close

to the feeling of carrying a baby for a good portion of a year

and then holding them in your arms for the first time

and you are feeling the most amazing love 

as they grab your finger

and feel that softest baby skin
and kiss the tiniest pair of lips you've ever seen.

Then as the years fly by 

you watch as they develop into

amazing adults and people you enjoy talking to 

and being with.

So I want to wish all you Mothers, 

a very special day

of remembering 

and counting your blessings.

I happened to magically have three.

A perfect number.
