What My Son Has Taught Me



My son was born less than a month ago and yet he has already taught me so many things. He has taught me that I need to cherish every moment with him because time indeed does seem to fly and already he is growing and growing. He has taught me that I need to be organized all the time, so that I can get done everything I need to, for him, for my family, for myself. He has taught me that I need to do instead of just plan, which is something that I often did--plan, plan, plan and never got around to doing. He has taught me the importance of patience, that a mother learns to watch and admire how fast a child learns and how difficult it is to learn at the same time. He has taught me to truly believe in miracles, as he is one. He has taught me that I need to take care of myself, physically, spiritually and emotionally, so I can be there for him always and so I can be an example. And most of all, he has taught me that a child is a blessing that keeps bringing more and more blessings as the days go on.
