On one of my lullaby albums is the song "You Are My Sunshine." It had been a long time since I heard that one. I started to sing along and heard the words in a new way: "You'll never know, dear, how much I love you...." I immediately thought of an email my dad sent me last week where he was commenting on my new role as a mom and wrote: "Now you know how much Mom and I love you."
It's true! I know love. I love my parents and siblings, I love my husband, but I never understood that love that a parent has for a child until I had my own. So, Will, remember that you'll never know how much I love you...until some day you have the honor of becoming a dad yourself!
