My Mother Did This For Me
Tuesday, April 19, 2011
Loved reading this excerpt from Tina Fey's new book where she is writing to God about her daughter:
And should she choose to be a Mother one day, be my eyes, Lord, that I may see her, lying on a blanket on the floor at 4:50 A.M., all-at-once exhausted, bored, and in love with the little creature whose poop is leaking up its back. “My mother did this for me once,” she will realize as she cleans feces off her baby’s neck. “My mother did this for me.” And the delayed gratitude will wash over her as it does each generation and she will make a Mental Note to call me. And she will forget. But I’ll know, because I peeped it with Your God eyes.
found here.
I thought I knew, but I just had no idea how much my mom loved me.And Dad.
Thank you parents.
I think I get it now.

Tina Fey is a comic genius.

Tuckered out extroverts.
This is the best ever. I've had that moment and thought about Marigold having it someday too. Powerful beautiful stuff. That picture makes me cry.
PS - Your son is sleeping like that right now:)
Scott is sweet. You know, sometimes it still hits me, "Aimee has a BABY now!" I mean, what?! You're a mom!
That is a picture you're going to cherish forever, in all it's iPhone-quality glory.
So sweet. Oh, I love Tina Fey.
BTW, are you reading that book? I can't wait until I get to sit down and read it, preferably in Amsterdam so I can feel a great connection to Tina in that we are both Americans.
Great post! And beautiful picture.
I'm going to have to pick up Tina's book. I loved the picture of you two. I have a couple with Cole like that and I'm embarrassed and in love with the pictures at the same time.
