Reconnecting With My Younger Mother Self

Last week, I had a chance to reconnect with my younger self -- the person I was when I was a brand new mother.

I was sitting in a coffee shop editing down excerpts of a letter I wrote to my newborn son the week he was born for a column I was writing for The Toronto Star. 

That same son was graduating from college the very next day, and I'd decided that it was the perfect time to revisit my new-mom hopes and dreams for my baby boy.

The column I wrote appears in today's Toronto Star. You can also read it at ParentCentral.ca -- the Toronto Star's website for parents.
