I thought I knew True Love before Ellie was born, but I was wrong. No one knows True Love until they look into the face of their child the first time. Everything shifts inside you, and a new parent is born.
It's something you can't really understand until you get there. I used to hate it when people said that to me, sure that I COULD understand, but then I learned the truth, and I don't feel that way anymore. It's something too big to explain with mere words.
When I was carrying Marty I worried that I could never love anyone else as much as Ellie, that I might short this boy inside me. I just couldn't fathom sharing my heart, because I love Ellie with my whole heart. But when I first set eyes on him, the most amazing thing happened - I grew another whole heart to love HIM with, too. Mommies grow enough hearts to love each of their children with every ounce of their being.
You'll understand when you get there.
