I have heard many mothers say that having children has brought them so much joy and fulfillment. I always used to nod my head and say "I can imagine..." I can only say that experiencing this for myself is something that has lead to a greater understanding of that which previously had only been understood through the limited insight of my imagination.
I sat thinking this evening, as I played with Little Belle, about how happy I am to have her in my life. I looked at her toothless grin and her freshly washed hair sticking straight up; her skin smelling like baby oil and soft as velvet, I thought to myself as I stared at her that bringing her into this world is the single most incredible thing I have ever done. Knowing that I accomplished that feat and that now I get to teach her, love her and watch her grow brings me so much fulfillment and joy beyond measure.
