Relief, joy, calm
Emotions experienced
In different measure
At the births of
Our three children –
Circumstances varied greatly
Each one a miracle-
Whether feeling
Relief, joy, or calm
Thankfulness covered us
Like a warm blanket –
And each miraculous time
Love was the binding
That wrapped each stitch
The gentle hand
That collected each tear
While changing each diaper
Our children know their stories. They’ve heard them more than once. And they know each other’s stories. If asked, they could choose which emotion most closely matches their birth. They are also the best at describing each other’s personalities.
I’m thankful they call me Mom. β€οΈ


For many reasons, this touches my heart. You and your husband created 3 amazing humans–and look at the precious little one that is continuing the amazing family name. This is beautiful, Kelley!! πβ£οΈπ€ PS–after visiting my youngest son and family last weekend, I told my sister my heart wants to write about my “boys”. My heart feels as you.
