39 by Mandi Leigh

When you are 9 days old, you need your mother to survive.

At 9 years, mommy is your only true love.

19 years, freedom is your goal, and you wish she would leave you alone.

At 29, life is so very busy, and pride gets in the way of asking her for a hand.

And when you are 39, you finally understand what sacrifices mommy made, empathize her journey as a Mom, and realize the gift she has always been to you.
