Not too long ago I wrote a post about my bundle of joy TO my bundle of joy, to document the feelings and thoughts I have as we go about our days together, and I just think it is something I will continue to do probably for a long time.
See, the thing is, as any mother out there can probably attest to, we learn so much everyday from our little ones.
I have learned how much MORE patient I can be (at least more than I used to be :-)) I have learned how much love my heart can feel without exploding, I have learned how grateful I can be even when everything else around me seems to be falling apart, because I am looking at this awesome gift God has given to me in my son.
Even as God stretches me and teaches me through the challenging times we have, he also stretches my heart to its fullest capacity, when He shows me just how blessed I am to have this amazing little boy in my life, to teach and to learn from, to love and to be loved by, to laugh with, to kiss, to hold, to comfort.
It is no secret that motherhood and parenting can be difficult, challenging and downright maddening, but I just want to spend as much time as possible thinking about and dwelling on how rewarding, heart-filling and life-giving it can be.
I just hope I can think about this tonight as I drag my tired self into my baby's room and as I comfort him and help him back to sleep. :-)

Leo y leo tu blog, tus post anteriores, tus reflexiones, tus dudas, tus convicciones y tus sueños. Y lo único que se me ocurre es felicitarte. Felicitarte por tu talento, por tu familia, por tu garra, tu valentía y tu increíble honestidad, más allá de los entornos y las presiones.
A través de los años, te he visto crecer, madurar y convertirte en una mujer plantada y admirable. Tu capacidad de sobreponerte a los obstáculos de la vida es verdademente ejemplar.
Te mando un beso emocionado, desde “casa"

El post sobre tu madre me llegó al alma. Y no necesito explicarte por qué.
WOW! Laura, me emocione!
Hay una parte mia que siempre desea y necesita ese apoyo y la aprobacion de los demas y por eso este mensaje tuyo me hace bien! Porque te respeto como mujer y tu opinion me hace sentir bien. Gracias!
Tambien saber que entendes ciertas cosas, que bueno tener en esta vida gente con la que realmente uno se puede identificar!! hace que uno pueda superar los obstaculos y aprender a cambiar.
Aparte me haces sentir ese lazo, ese vinculo tan fuerte que tengo con mi patria! Como extrano! Con Paul a veces jodemos que vamos a vender todo y mudarnos a vivir alla!
Amen to that!
