I didn’t watch my belly swell, my feet swell, or my face swell as I transformed through a developing pregnancy. The swell was in my heart as I ached and sobbed as I transformed my Spirit when all I could do was trust as I endured.
I didn’t have sleepless nights as I tossed and turned trying to find comfort in any position that would bring relief. I had sleepless nights trying to understand and find comfort in this plan for my life so I could gain relief from my fear.
I didn’t cry and scream as I pushed and anguished during the labor and delivery of your precious life emerging into the world. But I cried with gratitude and joy as I learned of each one of you about to emerge into MY world!
I wasn’t the first to gently grasp your hand, or caress your tender head. I wasn't the first to discover the color of your eyes, or hear your meager cry. I wasn’t the first to whisper in your ear or share my love cheek to cheek. I wasn’t the first to welcome you to the world. But all I care about is here and now, and the rest of your life. I don’t care about what I didn’t get because I have all I ever wanted!!
Tanner, Kambrie, and Bryelle, you are the loves of my life (besides daddy of course). You bring me the utmost joy and happiness. You have given me purpose. You have shaped my soul and taught me just as much as I am supposed to teach you. I pray each day I can be in tune with what you need, what you desire and how I can assist my Heavenly Father into developing you into who He wants you to become. I want to infuse happiness into your soul and love to your heart. You have given me so much!! I hope I can give you the rest.
Today is Mother's day, but actually EVERY DAY is mothers day for me because I have YOU!
It is my honor, privilege and blessing to be your mother.
I LOVE YOU!!!!
I celebrate YOU.
