moth·er [muhth-er] 1. a female parent.

that is the definition in the dictionary.  oh but how that word means so much more then just a simple female parent.  being a mother has been the greatest joy i've ever experienced.  there is so much love, tears, laughter, worry, joy that i never imagined.  i am constantly daunted at what a great responsibility it is to raise a child.  they are little innocent minds that we try to mould and direct hopeing in the right direction.  it is a responsibility that i take great pride in.  i never imagined myself loving being a mother.  but i do.  i am honored to be a mother to little lucy.  i love you baby girl!  you bring so much joy to my life.  thank you.

happy mothers day to all the hardworking mothers of the world!
