Twenty-Nine Weeks, Two Days. Day 207 in the quest to meet our little miracle George, 75 days to go…
To my dearest little miracle,
One day, a long time from today, a day when you look back and wonder about times past, when you want to learn more about the events that shaped your country and your life, about days when so much was happening in the world, where times where changing, and when you get to look back and think ‘really – that was a first’ you will be able to look back and know that your mother was thinking about you.
And today my dear, something happened in our country, something that hit the news world, something that made everyone stop and say ‘what happened, what is happening, do you know the outcome?’
Today ‘JULIA Gillard has accepted the role of Australia’s first female prime minister with the greatest humility and enthusiasm’(news.com.au)…
Now i am not the one for politics, i am not the one who typically wants to know much, or cares to much, or gets to involved… But today i did stop, and i did want to know, and i did care, because today i realised that this decision, this change, this may very well effect your life to come, that i am a part of something that will be a part of your future.
I sit here and wonder what this all means, what it might mean for you, but honestly it could mean anything, and right now as i sit here watching all the stories and reading all the updates all i can think is how blessed i am to be able to share this with you, how blessed i truly am to be telling MY future generation that i saw that first Australian female prime minister be sworn in, that me, your mother will actually be telling her child that she was there at that time – and as corney or stupid as it sounds, as important or unimportant as this event will be in your life time, all i know right now is that i will get to share my knowledge and my past with you who is my future, part of the future, and that is what excites me.
That is what makes me care. You.
Love from a mother that will be.
The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. Eleanor Roosevelt
