You are filled with so many blessings. I am blessed beyond belief to have the most amazing mother ever. I had the best childhood and grew up with so much love.
Now I am a mom. I have these amazing blessings that I look at and am in awe of some (most) of the time. I have held these girls in my arms. Fed them, changed their diapers, watched them grow. We have gone through ear infections (many, many of them), food allergies, asthma, fevers that were terrifying. Days last year when I did not know if my oldest had kawasaki disease, leukemia? A diagnosis of hyper IgE Syndrome led to answers. Physical Therapy, new shoes, new lifestyle. There were sleepless nights, worries, tears.
There were also days when I laughed harder than I thought possible. Sang right along with you in the car at the top of my lungs to Taylor Swift. Cried with pride at your Art Camp Performances. And cheered with joy at your gymnastics performances.
Girls, you have made me stronger, braver and smarter than I knew I could be. I am so glad I was blessed with the amazing gift of motherhood. I can't imagine life without you.
And yet, I'm a little sad tonight. Sad for the baby I expected to bring into this world next. Sad that I am not nearly six months pregnant, as I would have been if I had not lost my last sweet baby a few months ago. It's hard to pass this day by, without thinking of the loss that I recently experienced.
Motherhood, you are the bitter-sweet chocolate of life. And I am so blessed to be taking this journey.
Happy Mother's Day.
