HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY
I know that this day can be difficult for some. Some women that long to be mothers and aren't able to conceive, those who have conceived and lost, and those who have lost their children before you felt it was their time. My heart goes out to you and aches for you. I cannot imagine the pain and suffering you've had, however I can say that I'm here and willing to listen, cry with you, and hold your hand as you walk through your valleys.
I also want to say a HUGE thank you to all of those that have influenced my life. For my mom being the one that never wanted kids, I'm so glad that she changed her mind. My mom, she's always been there for me through all of the peaks and valleys of my life whether I created them myself or just happened to walk through them. She's been my biggest cheerleader, my hiking buddy, my confidant, my road trip sidekick, and my extra hand when I needed it. She allowed me to make mistakes growing up so that I could learn from them, mature, and move on. She's seen me at my highest of highs and lowest of lows and loved me through them all. I am forever grateful for the mother I was given and the friend that I now have. I also received two bonus moms when I married Pat. I have learned so much from both his mom and step-mom. Kim loves to garden, cook, makes beautiful place settings for family gatherings and always make sure the family gets together for the holidays. She's baked cookies with my kids at Christmas time, carved pumpkins with them at Halloween, and dyed eggs with them at Easter. Her love of genealogy excites her and she loves telling our kids about their ancestors. Lydia shares my love of baking and is an encourager and a cheerleader. She loves coming to watch the kids in their sports and is always there if I need someone to just listen and let me vent. We love to talk about recipes and family and soccer. Not only did I gain two extra moms I also gained another grandma, Pat's Grandma Judy. I enjoy all of the family I have gained through my husband.
