Because of my daughter's first mother, her loss, the loss of her young life, ends up being my gain. When my husband tells our daughter, "You get that trait from Mom," she lights up with pride. We all know who he's talking about. And it's not me. I'm fine with this. My motherhood bucket already overflows with so much more than I thought I'd get to experience. I was the one who got to tuck her in at night. To talk about boys. To shop for her dress for the school dance. That was my lap she sat in the first time I let her steer a car down our quiet street...I told my daughter, "Your mom will forever be one of my best friends simply because she made you."
