This quote has been going through my head a lot lately:
I’m out here for you! You don’t
know what it’s like to be me out
here for you. It is an up-at-dawn
pride-swallowing siege that I will
never fully tell you about!
Jerry Maguire (Tom Cruise)
He may have been talking there about the pitfalls of being a sports agent, but I tell you, it hits home – for me, maybe not you – for being a mother as well.

Reminds me of a quilt square I made years ago for my mother-in-law .. this is so long ago it was before I had children… the quilt square said
“To be a mother is to know that your heart will forever walk outside your body.”
I never really understood that saying until I had children of my own, now I live it every day.

For being a husband at times as well.

Aye, Paul, I’m pretty certain it’s an interchangeable feeling for a lot of different situations!
M – Yes, that’s a good saying.

A very appropriate one!
