On this day – 3 August 1975, I began the journey called “motherhood” by welcoming my son, Charles Southall Farmer III into the world.

I love this quote by Penelope Cruz about having a child; an experience I’ll remember and treasure forever –

All those cliches, those things you hear about having a baby and motherhood – all of them are true. And all of them are the most beautiful things you will ever experience.

Happy Birthday, my son:)
