When you become a mother, you no longer have the option of dying. 

As a mother you are given the magical ability to heal wounds with a kiss, to banish the tears that no one else can, and to interpret a language you don't speak. As a mother you feel your own bones under someone elses skin, you smell your own scent on someone elses neck, and you are given the magnificent ability to nourish another with your body. 

Motherhood is scary, beautiful, maddening, and divine; because when you have a child it truly is as if your heart beats outside of your chest.
