A First Mother's Day

This is a very early picture of Margot and her Mom. Margot now weighs over six pounds. We hope she can go home from the NICU very soon.

Today is the first time that we get to celebrate the mother of our granddaughter Margot on Mother's Day. How I love Lillian and how I admire the way she has approached motherhood, the way she has responded to the challenge of illness and a difficult pregnancy, her bravery as she faced labor and delivery and recovery, and her dedication to that beautiful but fragile baby born six weeks early. 

I am in awe of all the mothers in my life and I hope to finish a post I've begun as a way to honor them. 

But today, I especially want to send my love to Lillian on her first Mother's Day -- as a mother herself!
