Why I did this

Last night, my son woke up in the middle of the night crying. I laid in bed with him to calm him down, and as his eyes fluttered shut and he drifted off to sleep, I thought to myself: I have never seen anything more beautiful in all my life. And I remembered: He is a big reason why I am doing this.

Thanks to him, I did not give up or quit when I saw the syllabi for our classes this semester. (You all know you thought about it, too! Right?!? Maybe it was just me.)

Now that the semester is over, I can say more than ever how glad I am that I did not quit. I also have confirmed just how much I want to be a librarian. I just thought I'd take the time to put things into perspective today. Thanks, baby, for looking out for your mama!
