Universal Tears

Tears Are Universal

I just saw something that made me smile and think of the joy of being a mom. It was a newborn baby crying. That cute wail with it's mouth wide open. Looks like a starving baby bird in a nest.

Melts my heart every time.

Chubby hands & feet. Multiple jelly rolls. Soft down hair. Your child.

All babies thrive on love and it matters not that maybe they receive that love from their birth mother or from another mother. It's the bond that  they know they are safe and loved that matters.

There is no difference in tears shed of an infant or a mom. They cry together whether out of pain, sadness or joy. They are as one.

It's ok to cry on Mother's Day.

Miss you, Mom
