My niece stayed with us the past few days and in our conversations I tried to convey to her that the love you have for your children, well, there's no comparison.
Example:
Yesterday morning Mr. B woke me up by coming in to my bedroom and asking if he could snuggle with me. He was thrilled when I told him "of course" and even more thrilled when after getting under the covers with me he said "you're warm!" and snuggled in closer. The love enveloped me.
Later that morning I had to wake Beeb up so we would get to the dentist on time. As I gently woke her she stretched and yawned and put her arms straight out in front of her and insisted I give her a hug that lasted minutes. Her warm little arms holding me tightly filled my heart to the brim.
These two little innocents fill my life with more tender loving emotion I could ever fathom prior to their existence. Of course knowing and feeling this I realize there is someone out there who feels the same way about me (and you).

I loved this post. It is so true. I really feel sad for those people who never had children "because dogs were easier" or something.
I love my children's hugs more than I could ever put into words.
