A Love Letter to Motherhood

If God is Love, then God is a Mother.

​

I was never able to imagine what this would feel like. And I tried. But from the moment I heard her cry I knew.

​

I felt instantly bound to this little soul. The bond already came from feeling her inside me, and the instinct of protection and care were there for months. But that moment when I heard her little new voice; her little howl, it’s as if my whole being transformed instantly. The sense of love and joy were overwhelming.

​

I spent the first three weeks of her life in this world just looking at her and crying in awe. Just to look at her brings me the most joy I have ever experienced. I just want to be with her, look at her, sing with her, listen to her, chat with her, play with her, hold her, kiss her, love her.

​

It’s the purest version of  love I’ve ever known.

​

And priorities change in a second. “I’d give my life for you” makes sense all of a sudden.

​

It’s wild.

​

It’s so so beautiful.

​

She’s my baby. My light. My Sun.
