Last Sunday, we joined in celebration and support of my dear friend Kendra--a beautiful, positive woman of great inner strength--who is well on her way to becoming a new mama. Oh, there is so much to say about being a new mama! Aside from all the fogginess of drifting through the first month in a daze--diapers, one day rolling into the next, the little squawks that we fret over wondering what in the world they are trying to say.
Becoming a mother is something quite like anyone will ever understand, unless you are, of course, a mother yourself--the creation of this little creature that you hold in your womb, that grows with you and from you; the love that you have never before experienced, so unique and selfless; the ache of responsibility that this little creature is in your care and that you must do everything you can in your power to raise them right, to teach them, to guide and nurture them, to help them to flourish as independent, compassionate, hard-working people. Ok, one day at at time!
We are very excited for you, Kendra! May you enjoy all the blessings of motherhood--a new-found sense of purpose, the ability to find serenity in chaos, a source of vast wisdom and a good sense of humour. You are surrounded by such an amazing, supportive groups of women and families in Squamish. Here are just a few pictures from our day with you.
