His -Officially Working- Mother

Last night, I snuck into his room and listened to him breathe.

Today would be my first day away from him and I shuttered at the thought.

It’s hard to believe that almost 3 months has past since he came into our lives.

On the other hand, I can barely remember what life was like before he was here.

I can only glimpse the tiniest memories of who I was before I became his mother.

Today, this is the role that defines me. First and foremost, I am his mother.
