Last Mother's Day was a day that I celebrated my mom, mother-in-law, Grandmother, Mimi, Brenda, my sisters, sister-in-laws, cousins, aunts, etc. I remember thinking, will I ever be a mom? Will I ever know what my mom went through to make sure my brother and I were taken care of, the worry and love that she has for us, will I ever know that feeling? As many of you know, it took Chuck and I almost a year to get pregnant, there were so many ups and downs, so many emotions during that time. But today, too look back, everything that we went through to get to where we are today is nothing short of grace. Our God is amazing, he works in miraculous ways. He DOES answers our prayers and my prayers were big! I wanted to be a mommy so bad. And now, I have so much love for my son, MY SON. My angel, my tiny gift from God.
Today means so much to me, in this short time that I have been his mommy, I understand how my mom and many other mom's feel about their children. You will do anything for them, you shed many tears of joy and some of sorrow. Your heart breaks when they are sick, when they cry you almost cry yourself. And to know that they depend solely on you at this young age gives me such an overwhelming feeling of pride and accomplishment. I love my baby boy so much and I am so thankful to share this day with so many other wonderful mommy's and mommy's to be.
I thank God and my husband for this day to celebrate me, a mommy. I thank Holden for being everything I ever wanted, he is the ultimate symbol of mine and Chuck's love. The love that we brought before God on our wedding day. Holden, I love you so much. I promise to always protect you, to provide for you, to care for you and above all, I promise to love you forever. One day, I pray that you will get to experience this love, the love that a parent has for their child.
I love you son,
