As I sit here, thinking about how much I wish I could spend today with the amazing mothers in my family, I have a rush of feelings surrounding me.
Being almost 8 months pregnant, I am finding that this mothers day is very different for me. I have spent most of the past 7 years away from my mom on Mothers day, meaning that normally my day is pretty low key. This year, as I am not totally a mother yet - but know that this will be the last mothers day where I wont be a mother...I can't help but think about all the wonderful things the mothers in my life have done to inspire me.
To my mom, my grammy, my aunt patti...thank you for the love, support, memories and wisdom you have shared and continue to share. My only hope is that I can be as good of a mother to my daughter as you have been to me! More than my mother, my grandmother, my aunt...you are my friends and for that I am blessed!
To my amazing mother - in - law...thank you for raising a son that is able to love, respect and rejoice in the good and bad of our relationship. And thank you for welcoming me into your life and family. I could not ask for a more loving person and friend!
To my beautiful friends who joined the elite sorority of motherhood over the last year...you are all amazing women and I couldn't ask for a better group of women to share in this special experience. I will turn to you all over the years for help, advice and love...as I hope that you will be able to turn to me.
I wish every mother a very happy mothers day - may today be filled with the love and joy you share with everyone on a daily basis.
