Life is pretty surreal for me right now. Last year this time I was on cloud nine being about six weeks pregnant with our second child. Then days later that joy turned to the deepest sorrow I have never felt before from loosing that baby.
This year that joy is back with the help of a new dear friend who has chosen us to adopt the twin babies she is carrying. It is amazing to me how selfless she is in giving us this gift. I love her in a way I never knew possible and am so thankful at what she has taught me.
I have always loved Mother's Day. Even as a child as I watched my own mother and from watching the many women in my life being mothers in many different ways. I have never thought you have to be a mother by having your own children. A mother is a mother no matter what. It is just in us! So growing up watching these many women around me posses the traits of motherhood I feel overwhelmed to fill those shoes. I have had many opportunities to be a mother in many capacities and only hope that I am doing the best that I can.
So to all of you mothers out there, have a great day!
