A Happy Divorced, Separated and Single Mothers Day!

My son has been watching our videos of when he was a baby, so of course I sat down to watch with him for awhile. I am so glad that I did. Watching him as that small infant, I couldn't believe they were the same person, that almost-man sitting next to me now. Have the years really gone by that quickly? (How many Mother's Days?) 

Then a scene of just the two of us, (I was giving him a bath). I couldn't stop myself as I started to cry happy tears when I saw the look in his eyes on the screen. I had forgotten that look of pure, unconditional love that shines in our baby's eyes as they look at us when they are so small and new to the world. It is the most pure emotion I had witnessed in years! That infinite emotional quality that I had forgotten even existed in the world, (and of course in our world of the separated, divorcing and single moms).

When do we lose that kind of connection? Is it all of the distractions of our daily lives? Can we only look at someone that way when they are new? Or we are new? 

I think as moms we always look at our kids that way. If not always from our eyes but from our hearts. I know I still feel that connection, that warmth I feel as it expands in my chest when I look at them sleeping. After all we carried them for nine months, our hearts beating in sync, one harmonious tune.

Happy Mother's Day!
