A mother's thoughts

"Like the dawn of a new day is the miracle of birth, bright with hope and colored by tomorrow’s dreams."
Donna Volmerding, on the birth of her son, October 13, 1974
"More wondrous than the universe at twilight is the miracle of birth. When we gaze in awe at the workings of the Lord, we realize how little a role we play in them."
Donna Volmerding, on the birth of her daughter, June 26, 1977
