When my sister Katie was here she asked how often I felt those glowing, tears in my eyes, sentimental moments over my children and motherhood.  It got me to thinking.  My first reaction was that they don't actually happen that often, most of our days feel more stressful and frenzied than tender and maudlin.  But then my mom asked how often I sit back and smile and think, "That's my kid!" That happens every day.
