I Never Knew

I never knew I could love two people so much.
I never knew there was good pain, until March 8, 2003 and was lucky enough to feel it again on March 31, 2005.
I never knew how bad I could hurt, until I saw a little bit of pain in my kid's eyes.
I never knew unconditional love, until my son looked me in my eyes and said I love you.
I never knew how good a little squeeze of my finger could feel, until my daughter did it for the first time.
I never knew a 3 year old and a 1 year old could bring me to my knees.
I never knew two people who looked up to me the way my kids do.
I never knew reading the same book over and over again could be so much fun, until I read Cat in the Hat every night for a month.
I never knew how lucky I was, until I became a mommy!
