On Sunday I celebrated my first Mother's Day. I was excited. It felt special..like being part of a new club. I felt honored and proud. My mom gave me an old telegram she got from her parents on her first Mother's Day. It was like passing a torch. They tell me every day they are proud and I know they are. It was a nice day swimming, eating Greek food, together with our family. Last year my mom and sister and I spent the night down at Clearwater Beach. I looked like I had a large beach ball under my shirt and I was starting to feel really run down and swollen. This year I held Elliott, I watched him laugh at his cousins and sit on his grandpa's lap. I watched him splash in the pool and even stand on his own for a few seconds for the first time. Sometimes it hits me and my heart skips and I smile. I'm a mom.
