#mother

I'm a strange mixture of my mother's curiosity; my father, who grew up the son of the manse in a Presbyterian family, who had a tremendous sense of duty and responsibility; and my mother's father, who was always in trouble with gambling debts. ↗

Being a mother is the best thing that ever happened to me. Before you have your first baby you are a girl and then you become a mother.
