Yesterday, Mother's Day, I sat in Sacrament Meeting and heard from a self proclaimed Momma's Boy about the influence of moms. I heard from another son about how you don't have to bear children to be a mother. I also heard about how mothers can have quiet strength and pass this trait and that of kindness on to their children. . . .
And even though my mind and body were tired and in desperate need of a nap, all my hearings distilled downward so that by the time I sat in Relief Society and looked over at the sleeping baby next to me, looking over her doll face features, I thought about how . . .
. . . right this very minute, I'm gestating a whole new person, with her own unique features, with her own personality and her own eternal identity. . .
and after I teared up for a few seconds, it boggled my mind so completely that I came home and took a 3 and a half hour nap.
