Because They're Worth It

"Mommy? You're the best mommy in the world."

– JZ, 14 July 2017

JZ said that to me tonight with his right arm around my belly, his face in my face, and his left hand on my cheek. Out of the blue and for no reason at all as I was putting him to bed. :') It's moments like this that make the madness of mothering two boys 21+ months apart, all worth it.

My dearest firstborn, JZ...

I love how you always love so unabashedly.

If the world was filled with more people like you,
it would be a wonderful place to be in.

Love always,
Mommy
