I don't know who I am anymore. I used to write, paint and draw. I used to hike mountains hung over from all the whiskey the night before. I used to get lost in anime and books for days at a time. I used to find any reason to dance and surround myself with music.
Now I rarely remember to eat dinner much less put on make up or fix my hair. My nights consist of laundry and saying 'no' constantly. That amazing feeling of sitting down after 12 hours of running all day. Realizing how fast time has flown already.
I know how to make a child giggle and squee in delight. That laughter is the balm that soothes my aching body. The tickle monster never needs to stop and rest. I read small books in funny voices and chase the shadows away. I've learned patience and the meaning of unconditional love.
Who am I? I am Mommy, the one who always knows what's best. The one who can kiss even the worst boo boos away. I am a mom, a mother wolf protecting her cub.
One day when you're older I will share what I used to love to do with you. I will teach you the tricks to surviving this world. We will kick ass together and take on the world. You are my son and I could imagine no other.
Who am I? Your Mommy.
