mom forever after

Motherhood meant a great change in my life. It came with mix feelings, from the panic that my independence was gone forever, to the ecstatic feeling of love for that little bundle that was dependent on me. As a working mom, more confusion was to come, from the desire of bonding with my daughter, to the jealousy towards other people in her life who helped taking care of her - my mom and then her nanny - to the will of keeping my career on track. It took me a while to feel comfortable in my new shoes. It took me even longer to create an indestructible bond with my daughter, but I was determined to do it right and I never gave up. Throughout the years, I've been part of her life for every single available minute, I observed her behavior and the changes occurred with every stage of her growing up - I fell in love with her over and over again and now, at three she already knows that mommy is her best friend.
