Mom's

Today is Mother's Day. I have spent the day reflecting on all of the mothers in my life.

To my Birthmother...

You gave me life. And then you gave me away. So that I could grow up in a home that you wanted. You made a choice that, now that I am a mother I can now understand how hard it would be. You made a sacrifice, for me.

To my Mommy...
You gave me a life. You raised me. You taught me to walk, to talk, to love. You taught me about Jesus, and helped me to understand who I am. I love you for giving me a life, and a home. You were always my mother, and now my friend, and also someone I turn to for advice.

To my Mother-in-Law...
You gave me my husband, the father of my child, and man of my dreams. You made him the sweet, caring, emotional, sensitive man that he is. You made him the man he is today, the best husband and father a girl could ask for.

These three mothers, as well as countless others have influenced me, and impacted how I am as a mother. I have a few others in my life, while they may not be mothers, I wouldn't be a mother without them.

To my Husband...
You gave me my son. You and I created together, the most wonderful little boy in the whole world. You are an amazing father, and wonderful husband, and I love you more each and every day. Thank you for yesterday, today, and all the tomorrow's we will share.

To my Son...
You gave me motherhood. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know the joy of waking up each and every day to your voice. I wouldn't understand the wonder of your laugh. I would never have known how much little boys love to get dirty, play rough, and crawl around and just be boys. I love watching you grow and learn every day. I love seeing you discover the new things in the world around you. I love you more today than any other. I remember the day I found out I was pregnant, then the day we found out you were a boy. The day you were born, was one of the two best days of my life. Each and every day is special with you. I love you, and can't wait to see the boy you are growing into, and the man you will be all too soon.

My day has been wonderful, thanks to my wonderful family. I love you.
