'-mom'

In my past life, I was, for the most part, a stay-at-home-mom. I kept a routine and a spotless home.

I was not only there with my children for every milestone they reach and every new word or small muscle movement learned, I was a part of it until they were the ages of 10, 7, and 5. Many days, my heart pains for that part of that life, my favorite part. 

In my current life, I am, in every part, a working-mom. I keep a paycheck and a happy home.

I am with my children in the mornings, evenings, and weekends; together we communicate through playing, laughing, and talking. Every day, my heart swells over this part of this life, my favorite part.
