It was right about this time, 20 years ago, that I gave birth for the very first time. I'm smiling as I recall that day. I'm smiling because I feel proud of me then, proud of me now and of all the things in between. Motherhood has always been a crucible- changing, stretching and requiring me to grow- at a pace that's felt impossible at times. But I love growth. I don't mind discomfort, and I freaking adore my kids. For half of my life they've occupied the grandest parts of my heart. I'm smiling about that today.
