Think about it.
I brought 3 human beings into this world. I did it knowing that they would suffer, have pain, lose friends and family, giving birth, I knew some day they would die.
I brought 3 human beings into this over populated world. This world so full of worry, sorrow, horror, and despair. This world overburdened with Americans sucking up more than their fair share of resources, now has 3 more people living the American dream.
and I'm not sorry. Not one bit.
I gave 3 human beings the biggest gift I knew - life. Messy, complicated, challenging, life. I gave birth to the three people I love best in the world. Three people who I know, inside and out. Three people who I will be forever discovering I don't know, because they change and grow every moment, they are not who I thought they were. These tree people I will be forever discovering. Three people whose eyes now show me a different world than the one I thought I knew, three different worlds in fact.
I wish it was a better world, safer, cleaner, fairer. I try to do my part, I recycle, I donate, I volunteer, but the biggest thing I ever did to make this a better world was to give it my best, the very best I could do - be my children's mom.
