Birthdays are not about us. They’re about our Mothers.

Sure, your birthday is the day you came into the world and it’s the day we fete ourselves, or are feted by others - but really, it’s about Mom. We just kinda handed our ticket to the attendant and went along for the ride. Mom did all the work to make things happen.

I have had many different ideas about what to post today, Zacharie’s first birthday. I was going to do a montage of videos, or a montage of photos, or write something profound.. instead I want this to be about Jen. Zacharie’s here, but she did the hard work.

So have a look at these clips, filmed by Jen when Zacharie was about 7 weeks old and tell me she’s not the greatest mother in the world. I dare you.

The music in the background is a song called A Day in May. I wrote it while sitting next to Jen in the hospital. She was in labour, I was writing a song in Garage Band. Yes, today is a day to celebrate Zacharie, but it’s also a day to stop and say thanks to Jen.
