Mother's Day is a little bittersweet to me. It is bitter for that those who have lost mothers, grandmothers, or children or for those who long to be a momma. My heart breaks when I think that Leon's mom never got to see our little man or that my sweet Granny didn't get to see his curly head of hair she gave him. My heart breaks for my momma that she isn't able to call her momma whenever she wants to. And, my heart breaks for Leon to not have his momma when he needs her. And something I haven't thought a lot of until recently is the pain that Mother's Day can bring to those who want to be a momma more than anything, but can't. My friend Ashlee says it better than I could put into words. (I know I've said it before, but her blog is so worth reading).
But, on Mother's Day I am also reminded of the sweet things blessings that God has given me...blessings that I have every single day. God has given me a momma who loves me and has given me all that I could ever need or want that was anywhere close to in her power. Not only is she my momma, but she is also my best friend. She is by far the best Granna I know of...even if she does spoil him more than I'd like :). As if that wasn't enough, He has given me a step-mom who has always loved me like her own daughter and would do anything for Bishop. And, 2 years ago He allowed me to be a mother to a son that brings me more joy than I ever knew existed. I am reminded, today, on Mother's Day, that even though my life is busy and sometimes I have to work more often than I'd like, I am truly blessed to be a momma!
Words could never come close to describing the love I have in my heart for these 2!
Happy Mother's Day!!
