The Sisterhood of Motherhood

Being a mother is the best job.  Of course I cannot compare it to being a father...but I still consider myself pretty darn lucky to be a mom.  Everything I truly love in the world is wrapped up in two tiny little warm bodies that dance around on my heart every day.  I expected that I would feel that way.  I was right.

What I never expected from motherhood were the friendships I have been lucky enough to find as I have traveled around with my kids.  I have so many friends whom I have had for almost as long as I am old.  I wish I could see them more and I love that FB lets me keep in touch and see pictures of their kids doing silly things like mine.  I have friends that I have made while watching my daughters tumble around at gymnastics.  I have friends that I met while on bed rest in the hospital.  I have friends I have met on message boards whom I have almost begun to think are my long lost sisters.  All of these beautiful mothers have become my friends because I have children and because our paths have crossed along the way.  All of these mothers support me as I travel in circles finding my way.

Time is short these days because of all the new paths we go down each year with our kids.  I assume I will meet more mothers along the way.  I just thought I'd reflect a little on how lucky I feel for the friends I have.
