MOTHERHOOD

 

A mother is not a person to lean on,

but a person to make leaning unnecessary.

-Dorothy Canfield Fisher

.

Motherhood brings as much joy as ever, but it still brings boredom, exhaustion, and sorrow too. Nothing else ever will make you as happy or as sad, as proud or as tired, for nothing is quite as hard as helping a person develop his own individuality especially while you struggle to keep your own.

-Marguerite Kelly and Elia Parson
