This year on mother's day (my second 'real one'
with Elsie), I got thinking about all my other babies. Elsie is my 5th child.
The others didn't make it. Now that she is no longer tiny and entirely chaotic,
she makes the others seem more real.
On mother's day, it's easy to forget - or ignore - that not
everyone wants kids; and not everyone who does can have them; and not all of
them will survive or thrive.
Life is a crapshoot. Forget thankfulness and
mindfulness and 'magic happens'. Just do whatever the f**k you want and try not
to hurt anyone else while you go about it.
