I guess it was the bird who flew straight into our window this morning that started my day off thinking of loss. It was sad seeing him make his last attempts to fly away and then stop moving altogether. Before that I had been feeling mildly bummed that Flip would be working today. Thinking how my Mother's Day could be better turned to thinking how it could be so much worse. 

I'm sending love to all those celebrating today with a piece of their heart missing. I am sharing a quote I read recently that couldn't be more true for the people I have the honor to be friends with.

3 years ago was one of the most emotional days of my life. After a difficult birth, we met our first baby. He was so tiny at 5 lbs 6 oz but breastfed like a champ and by 2 weeks old had gained over 2 pounds! A midwife told me I would only have c sections after Boston's birth, but 2 years later I had Luna (who was a pound and half bigger than Boston) naturally.
To say being Boston's mom has changed me would be an understatement. I have learned to trust my instincts over what others tell me, but also to know when I need to ask for help or guidance and not to be ashamed to do so.
I love being Boston's mom because he has more personality than anyone I know. He embraces all of his emotions and I think that's the only way to live life. And, he is so darn funny. I'm blessed to get to hang out with him every day.
