There are days, and then there are days...

If I was to do a life review, about my most "life changing" days, at the top of the list would have been 32 years ago, when I became a mother. Nothing prepared me for the change that would occur in that moment... Love found a whole new meaning.

Dear Ryan,
 I didn't know I could feel the emotions I felt as I gazed into your eyes for the first time. Motherhood has been a wonderful, and sometimes painful journey to experience.  Even so, with all of the recent heartache I wouldn't choose a different path.
Thank you for being willing to be the guinea pig, my personal trainer.
I feel like we grew up together, I just had some years on you.

Here is some of the journey from my perspective....
