My son asked me why today was Mother's Day. I started by explaining to him that today is the one special day that Mama's are supposed to get some extra special care and love.
As I continued, I mentioned how I wasn't always a Mama. I was Elizabeth and had a very different life. That Mother's day is very special to me because it reminds me of a time in my life when everything changed. The day he was born. And that this change will connect us both forever, no matter how far away he may be or how big he may grow.
Which of course prompted another question, "Why is it special?" I told him " Mother's day is special for me and I imagine many other mother's because they go from being just a woman taking care of themselves to bringing new life into the world or choosing a special child to be a mama to. It's a very big responsibility but we chose it because we have so much love inside that we need to share it or we might burst."
His response, "Mama, you are just like Tarzan's Mama Gorilla." followed by a cuddly hug by my son.
To all the mom's out there, hope you all had a great day and that you were lucky enough to get a cuddly gorilla hug like I did.
P.S. - This conversation took nearly an hour. #Wouldnotchangeathing
