To my amazing children,
When I was born, it was all about me. My parents loved each other, and a product of that love was bringing me into this world. For the longest time, it was all about me.
Then I met your father, and eventually we ended up together. The axis of my life shifted.
Now, the statement changed from "What about me?" to "What about us?" We were two different people with different opinions who now had to adjust our goals and direction. Will love and understanding prevail through strife and turmoil? Luckily for us, the answer to that was "Yes".
But now comes a different phase in my life.
The greatest and most amazing aspect of life is bringing another life into this world. Becoming a parent, caring for your children, brings out emotions and feelings that you have never felt before.
My axis shifted yet again.
The statement changed once more, from "What about us?" to "What about them?"
How quickly the cycle of me turns to the cycle of you.
My greatest hope as your mother is that you will be able to go through all these phases throughout your own life, with the person you truly love, just like I have.
