Motherhood.

I do believe it is the most difficult job in the world. 

I never imagined how hard it could be, or stressful, or crazy, or fabulous.

I look at my two imperfect boys and am thankful that I get to have them for a while.

Because I know that someday they will have their own lives.

With their own families.

I hope that what we have taught them will stay with them as they grow up.

Like how to treat their wives.

Or how to always kiss your babies--even when they're big.

I hope they remember that I always told them they were brilliant people.

Incredible people.

And that no one is better than them.

And vice-versa.

I want for them a life without fear.

A life full of discovery.

These boys are wild and rambunctious, moody and loud.

And sweet, considerate, loving and kind.

They are more than a crazy afternoon.

Or a passing judgment.

They are little humans, imperfections and all.

And I am their mother.
