A Mother's Heart

My computer screen was blurred this morning as tears filled my eyes. The feelings in my 40-something mother's heart have been beautifully written by the blog's guest author for the day. Whether your children are babies or headed off to college, you will enjoy it. Here is a portion of the post:

Because now it’s our turn to pack the school lunches. The turkey sandwiches, cheese sticks, and chocolate chip cookies, homemade or not. We fold white napkins in half alongside a water bottle. And we tuck our hearts into our children’s backpacks, too, hoping our kids know, somehow, that where ever they go, our hearts follow, too. Whether our kids are making swan sculptures in art class, running loops around the field in P.E., or standing alone on the black top at recess, they are never, truly, alone.

The post is titled, It's Our Turn, and was written by Terresa Wellborn. You can read it here.

Enjoy.
