otherhood is a marathon; not a sprint,
100-yard dash or baton relay. a mother
is a mother for life—even after life, we
are remembered as mothers, grandmothers, etc. It
is a profession void of retirement. at times those
are the most cherished words and at other times
they ring of exhaustion and impossibilities. Take
heart - the rewards outweigh the burdens.
Be a smart marathon runner.
