This mothers' day, more than any other, I hope that every mother on earth knows how lucky they are. I hope that when they hold their children, they take a moment to realize that children are not to be taken for granted: they are precious happenstance. We tend to think that all women are destined to become mothers, that the process is only hampered by finding a good man, a happy home, and a cute pair of booties or two. I am proof of the opposite. Having a child is not something that all women can do readily. Giving birth to your own child is a gift that is not bestowed upon everyone, only a lucky majority.
All I want for mother's day is to be a mom.
