You will not know how much I love you until you are a mother.
Sure, you know I love you.
You know I love when you run to me and hug my knees.
You know I love the graham cracker kisses you leave on my shoulder.
You know I love how your face lights up in the morning when I come to get you out of bed.
But, do you know that when I watch you sleeping I am awestruck that God has chosen me to care for you?
Do you know that every one of those wide-eyed, open-mouthed grins melts my heart?
Do you know how your laugh can turn my frown around?
Do you know that I miss you even when you are only in the next room?
Do you know that my heart breaks when you are sick and I cannot kiss away your tears?
Do you know that I would gladly endure all of your hardships just to keep you from experiencing any pain?
Yes, you know I love you.
But, you will not know how much I love you until you are a mother.

I feel exactly the same way! In fact I thought it was impossible that I would ever love someone else so much...until I had my second. The hear is amazing. It grows. The love we have as mothers for our children, is exaclty (or as close as it can be) to the way Jesus loves us. At least that is my take ;)
Beautiful!
So true Melissa!!! Beautiful is right... What a precious gift our little ones are...
By the way I see your header is fixed!!! =)
That is so sweet and true! We have petite miracles to care for!
