As a mother, I look at my beautiful children and marvel over the fact that these living, breathing, growing beings came from my body. I helped to create them and my body nurtured them and protected them until they were ready to be born to this world. The feeling that comes from this knowledge is indescribable. There simply are not words sufficient enough to even attempt a description.
As my children have grown, I have done my best to help them through their sorrows, shared in their triumphs, and tried to protect them when possible. Every moment has been a lesson and a blessing to me. These precious souls have given my life a different meaning and purpose. A better purpose than I ever dreamed could be possible. Never have I felt anything close to the love that I hold in my heart for these two boys.
Mother's Day is upon us, and I can not help but to reflect on the day I became a mother. The feelings that came to me the first moment I laid my eyes on the most perfect creature I have ever seen. The joy of taking that precious baby home with me. The very first Mother's Day, when I was hit all over again with joy at realizing I was now someones mother.
My children are still young, and I look forward to the future. I pray that all of my children's ambitions are achieved, and that they each experience no more pain than is necessary in this life. Thank you, God, for the blessings you have seen fit to give me in my children. I will cherish each and every moment of the gift of motherhood.
