When a woman becomes a mother…when inside she begins to feel her child grow…
those of us lucky enough to witness this miracle…notice how that mother-to-be glows.
And as her children grow…a mother shows her love for them a little every day…
a love she still feels, but doesn’t always get to show, when they grow up and move away.
As Amy and Ryan make the final preparations for their upcoming wedding day…
The love of their two mothers, Sue and Deborah…is now on full display.
When I see them I think back to when Amy and Ryan were babies and all the times in those early years…when the love they felt within their hearts got whispered in their baby’s ears.
How many times did they hug them…rest their chins on their heads from above…
smile…and tell them in a whisper…the secret to a mother’s love?
How thy loved them from the moment they felt their life begin…
How they love them every time they breathe out…
and every time they breathe in.
How they’ll never stop loving them…
How they’ll never ignore, disgrace or doubt them…
How they’ll never stop thinking or worrying…
or wishing or dreaming about them.
A secret shared between every mother and child…
that is easier to show than to explain…
a secret throughout the years…whispered over and over again.
When I’m blessed to bask in their mother’s love…even for a little while
When I see how they look at their children…when I see how that makes them smile..
I think about that glow new mothers-to-be have…a glow that’s easy to discern…
and I think in these two mothers…
even after all these years
how quickly that glow returns.
