Becoming a mom changed me. I never imagined I could love so deeply. I love my son so much it sometimes makes me cry. Tears of joy. It makes me want to be better just so I can be an example for him. It makes me love my husband more because I want him to see love, and know that he came into this world as an expression of our love for each other. Being a parent is by far the greatest joy i've known. And I'm glad I'm able to appreciate it enough to know its a privilege not to be taken lightly. I want to do right by my son in so many ways sometimes I don't even know where to start but I know the greatest gift I can ever give him is my unconditional love. But that love has to extend to everything else because its all connected somehow. I have to be the loving person I hope he will one day be. I must make myself better in order to show him better. The fallacy in parenting is we believe we can teach our children one thing yet act a different way. That's gotta be confusing to a child. I act like my mom, I've noticed. I realized I learned mostly by what my mom did. I remember how she reacted in certain situations and trend to react the same. Simply knowing that makes me want to stop acting like a fool cause I know my son will learn it from me. What do you think? Do your kids make you want to become a better you?
