As an only child I was determined that I would not have an only child myself. However, I'd read where people wondered how they could have more than one child, how would it be possible for them to share their love amongst more than one. Even though my whole being was consumed with my love for Josh when he was born, a deep sense of completeness and belief that he was truly a part of me, it never occurred to me that I wouldn't have those same feelings for future children. Indeed, the birth of Chiara and then Mia simply replicated those emotions time and time again. What is different is the way that love expresses itself for each developing personality, more so as they grow into adulthood.
So, I would always tell people that the love for your child isn't divided when you have another, more that it grows with each one. I have since found this quote online which conveys this perfectly:
“Only love can be divided endlessly and still not diminish.” Anne Morrow Lindbergh
This is so true, it's amazing how our hearts expand and hold so much and so many dear. I love that your story is about this kind of love. I love the heart cutouts and the paint splashes! Thanks for playing along with the MOC 11 Day 25 challenge.
