How can there be someone so darn lovable? I feel like I'm the first person in the world to discover how much a mother loves her child...but obviously I know every mother before me has felt how powerful this is (except for a few mothers we won't mention), especially watching you Jo with your beautiful boys.
So all these basic little things I do to show Manu how much I love him, well, like feed him, bathe him, wipe his butt etc make me realize how much Mom loved me...how much she loved all of us. But maybe I forgot since I haven't heard it from her in almost ten years. My baby is reminding me what being a mother meant for HER! I didn't know THAT would happen! I wish these were things I understood and could appreciate when she was here.
I think Pam's psychic friend was right about how much the baby reminds me of Mom (even though she was wrong about his sex)...but not that he looks just like her (sometimes he does), but that he makes me REMEMBER HER!

Here's my personal favorite because it forever captures my Willie the Janitor beard. Which is now gone because, "dis hot weatha is crap!":

And seeing your baby makes me remember you as a baby in your mother's arms.
