My thoughts at times.
Mommy
Noun
[mom ee]
Someone who gives every ounce of their being to their family. Never second guessing her commitment . Never seeking a return on investment. Not in it for the accolades, the labels, or notoriety. Our purest example of giving.
Today I cried.
As I sat bundled up with my three-year-old daughter on my lap and looked into the eyes of war veterans passing by, I cried.
I’m not completely sure why. I cried for their suffering, I cried for my children to whom I will one day have to explain war, I cried because in a town with an estimated 900,000 people, we could only muster maybe 1,000 to line the 15 block parade route in support.
We are all Americans, like it or not.
