To all my friends and mothers out there. Most special love and hugs to artbeco, artslave, trystel, stevieannie, oreouk, ladyat, and 13chatnoir.


But the most special hugs and kisses to my own dear pafuts. Not just mother, but super-mom, best friend and still object of my lust. :)

We were married 10 years before we decided to have children, so we know each other pretty well. I don't know if that's good or bad, but it is what it is for us. We had a lot of discussions about whether we were ready for kids before we conceived Zoë, and we had typical first parent fears and concerns.

However, had I known then what I know now - I wouldn't have given it a second thought. We are both better parents than I could have imagined, and most especially pafuts. She is just the best Mom for my kids that I could have chosen out of a sea of prospects. Even with all of our stress and uncertainty right now, I wouldn't want to be here with anyone else. My kids adore her, and I do too. :)

But, as much as my kids adore her, it doesn't come close to how much she adores her kids. It's a huge and beautiful thing. She has strength and patience and compassion and all the things you want from a Mother.

My words seem weak compared to how much I am overwhelmed by her as a mother, wife, and friend.

I love you sweetie - happy mother's day.
