Happy Mother's Day 2013!
You know, it is truly amazing how the last 3 years have been in regards to Mother's day! So let's rewind, Mother's day 2010, I was happily married to the love of my life without a care in the world! Mother's day 2011, I was struggling with depression as we had lost our first baby and still no luck being pregnant again. Mother's day 2012, I was pregnant (and almost due) with Braeden! Mother's day 2013, I get to look into these gorgeous brown eyes of this little boy who is almost a year old and fall even harder in love with him, for giving me this day to celebrate!
You see, the last 3 years this day has had a particular meaning, and some not always good. I have so many friends that dread this day because they have either lost their mother, or are not mothers themselves. God does not get confused when it comes to his plan, but even I still do not always understand why we go through the obstacles we go through to get where we are going.
I know so many amazing women who would be wonderful moms, yet they can't get pregnant; or have a healthy pregnancy. I also know so many beautiful people whose moms have since left to go to Heaven. So this day means something entirely different for them than me.
However, today should be a celebration of your mom, whether she is here or not, remember all the good times and know she is watching you from the sky and is dear in your heart. Those mommies with little baby angels, know that our little angels are flying high and waiting to finally meet us one day in Heaven and they are proud of us even if we have yet to meet them yet.
And those mommies who are pregnant or have been pregnant, you deserve to celebrate too for what is to come. And even if God does not allow your body to produce a beautiful child on your own, know that their are millions of precious babies that would love to call you mommy.
Today we are not just women, but we are powerful, strong, beautiful mommies! We each have our story, and our children will soon understand why today is so important, and eventually they too will have their own meaning for this day too!
With love <3
