Mother's Day

For some this is the first day that they are being celebrated as a new mother, and for others this is the day they ask simply for peace and quite. Either way it is a big day and every Mother should be celebrated.

Things have changed. It is hard to believe that my wife is a mother now. I have been crazy in love with Mistie since high school, and just as I thought I knew what true love was all about, we had a baby. True love has a totally new meaning, and it is awesome!

Everyday as I watch Mistie take care of our baby, I sit back and reflect on how truly lucky I am have her in my life. I know Ellorah thinks the same way; it is evident when she is screaming like being dipped in acid and as soon as Mistie holds her - she instantly quiets down.

Motherhood is more than having a child; it is more like having a super power. I have noticed that Mistie can withstand needles now, and is always by Ellorah’s side soothing her when she gets her shots. She can withstand the smelly diapers, being puked on, and tolerate very little sleep while maintaining a full time job, and being a great wife.

Mistie – thanks for being the love of my life, and my baby’s momma. I think the world of you.

To my Mom – (Lana Snowden) Thanks for being my Mom. After 4 months of having a baby, I know what all it takes from a parent to care for an infant. It really puts everything into perspective. Thanks for all those long nights of rocking me to sleep, feeding me, soothing me, and changing me. Thanks for always being there when I needed you, and being there when I didn’t realize I needed you. Thanks for always being supportive, even if it was the craziest thing you have ever heard. Thanks for raising me into a good human being.

I know if I am half the parent you are, then I have nothing to worry about with Ellorah.

Thanks to you both.
Love, n o r m
