i am his mama

Today's prompt on Blogtember is:

Describe a distinct moment when your life took a turn.

 

There have been many moments when my life as I knew it took a turn:

moving across countries and to different continents, 

marrying my best friend, 

quitting teachers college to study Journalism and deciding that wasn't what I wanted either, 

the day we found out we would need fertility treatments to fulfill our dream of becoming parents,

a positive pregnancy test,

a miscarriage,

and that second positive pregnancy test.

All moments that changed my life and made me the person I am today.

But the most life changing moment has got to be the birth of our son.

Nothing could prepare me for the all consuming love I would feel for this little man, 

or for the fear of losing him, 

for the joy when he wakes up in the morning, because that means I can hug him again, 

for the the heart bursting pride I feel when I see my husband play with our son,

for the gratefulness I feel that I am his mama.

From the moment he was born my life as I knew it had changed, it took a turn for the better and changed it for good.

Love, Maria
