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!
