Quote

Before I had my child, I thought I knew all the boundaries of myself, that I understood the limits of my heart. It's extraordinary to have all those limits thrown out, to realize your love is inexhaustible.

Having children showed me a whole different kind of love that I had never known. It was something that had always been missing. Complete love. I would die for them.

Even as a child I had a strong relationship with yearning and desire. And loss. Those things spoke to me.

Having children is my greatest achievement. It was my saviour. It switched my focus from the outside to the inside. My children are gifts, they remind me of what's important.

My heart grows every day through struggling and love of my kids. It helps balance everything else - the work and the world. It helps keep me grounded and in perspective of what is really meaningful to me.

The unconditional love for you child, it's truly amazing.

I want some day to be able to love with the same intensity and unselfishness that parents love their children with.

The journey from teaching about love to allowing myself to be loved proved much longer than I realised.

When you become a parent, it blows you open in ways that you never thought possible in terms of a level of love that I know I never thought I could possibly have.

The moment that changed me for ever was the moment my first child was born. I was happy, filled with hope, and thought, 'Now I understand the whole point of work, of life, of love.'
