I am very thankful to be a Mother! There are many days where I feel like I fall short of what I could be as a Mom, but most days I feel thankful! I'm thankful that I had a Mother who was a good example to me! I'm thankful for all that I have learned from her! I'm thankful for being able to have four children! Each one so unique and amazing! I'm thankful (most days) I can stay home with my children! I'm thankful that daily I see new things about them and see them grow and change. Today for the first time Luke said to me as I was tucking him into bed, "Sweet dreams Mommy....I love you!". I'm thankful I can hear other sweet words from my children like, "hold me Mommy", "watch this Mommy", "play with me Mommy", "I made this for you Mommy". Being a Mother is the hardest thing I have ever done, but I'm so thankful I get to do it everyday!
This Mother's Day I spent it with my Mom. My Sister and I had a special breakfast with my Mom at her house. So peaceful and relaxing! As you know, my Mom recently just finished her last treatment of chemo and radiation. That day she looked radiant! I would have never known she just went through all that! She is still often tired, but slowly gaining her strength back. What a honor it was to be with her! To be reminded what a wonderful Mom I have been blessed to have! My Mom has 10 grandchildren now (from two daughters)! She has been at every one of their births - watching as each one has come into the world! Can you believe it? I certainly hope I have that honor when my kids have their own children!
I hope that all the Moms out there had a special day too!
