Everyone except Esbee will understand this: on Hallmark days people on Facebook will post things in their "status" that someone else has written for the occasion and then arm-twisted everyone else to post in their "status" too. For Mother's Day we have this one:
Before you were conceived, I wanted you. Before you were born, I loved you. When you were born, I saw your face and knew I was in love. Before you were an hour old, I knew I would die for you. To this day, I will. With Mother's Day approaching, repost this if you have children you love more than life.
Here's what I predict will be written for Father's Day:
Before you were conceived, I had freedom. Before you were born, I could do whatever I wanted. When you were born, I saw you and asked if you were really done and wondered if maybe we should put you back in there for a week or two. Before you were an hour old, I knew that life as I knew it was over. To this day, I've been proven right. With Father's Day approaching, repost this if you have children who've sucked the marrow out of your being, but what the hell, you have to admit you love them more than life.

Sniff. That was beautiful!
I try and let the warm, cuddly part of my personality out at least once a year.
Jon, did the motherhood prose spring forth from your “warm, cuddly part”? Would like to give proper credit to the source.
Im in no way capable of that! A friend posted it in her status as part of one of those if youre a Mom post this in your status chain-mail-ish things, so I have no idea who the originator of it is. I guess well have to credit it to the almighty Facebook:)
