For motherhood.
As we get ready to celebrate Mother’s Day this Sunday, I think about mine. The powerhouse of a woman she was, and everything she taught me. Her example of strength and faith and unconditional love will live in me forever. I miss her dearly, and I thank God for the time I had with her.
Mostly, however, I think about my life as a mother. Through the trials, tribulations and triumphs of motherhood, I have experienced things and felt emotions on a level I cannot possibly explain to you. Except I can tell you that I would not trade any of it. I cannot envision, nor do I want to, life without Lauren and Danny.
For this blessing the Lord has bestowed upon me, today and always, I am thankful. I want to wish all the moms, grandmas, aunts, and godmothers a beautiful and blessed Mother’s Day.
Until next Thursday’s post…si Dios quiere.
What are you thankful for today?
“Motherhood: All love begins and ends there.”
-R. Browning
”(24/7) once you sign on to be a mother, that’s the only shift they offer.”
-J. Picoult
The sweetest sounds to mortals given
Are heard in Mother, Home, and Heaven.
~ W. Brown
[Note: By the way, in case you’re not Spanglish-speaking, “si Dios quiere” means God-willing. Mom finished most of her sentences with that phrase. I added it to my sendoff in her honor after her passing].
This Mother’s Day post speaks volumes on behalf of all of us moms and grandmas.
Happy Mother’s Day, Connie, and to all of your dedicated followers. Boop
Big hug to you, Boop.
