this is why

i am a mother. for the love between these two, the love that I get to witness every single day. God knew what he was doing when he blessed us with these boys of ours. I feel so blessed. It is worth the lack of sleep, the tantrums, the stress of illnesses and teething, the growing pains that will soon come, the tears, the countless diaper changes, spit ups, pure exhaustion at the end of the day, the pain, the worry, the fear. Every hard moment of my day, the haggard way I feel most evenings, it is so worth it. It is worth it to watch the love these little boys have for each other. They teach me in their simple way, the way they look at each other, the way they touch and smile, coo and talk. They teach me what love is all about. The simple love of two brothers. I am so proud to be their mama.
