You're a mom, you know.

"It's why every sappy commercial brings us to tears. It's why we can't watch the news. It's why we get in the car and cry after we drop our kids off to their first day of school. It's why food allergies are terrifying. It's why our hearts ache when we hear about miscarriage or fertility problems. It's why we are up at night worrying about our teens. It's why the thought of our children eventually leaving the nest makes us weep into our coffee. It's why the death of another mother's child is so utterly heartbreaking . . ."

This essay tugged at my heartstrings and simultaneously made me feel OK about tearing up each time I've seen this Super Bowl commercial ... Thanks to all of the great Moms I've learned from and commiserated with!
