Mothers Day

17 years ago, I celebrated my first mothers day!  Prior to this most glorious day in my life, I would spend this day with a pasted smile and would want to hang out under the blankets and wish this day over.

J and I were married in 1987 and M was born in 1994.  As long as I can remember, the only thing I wanted to be was a MOM.  Month after month, my desire to be a mom grew.  We went to a fertility treatment doctor only to find out that there was nothing wrong with either of us.  She put me on fertility pills, spent countless hours trying to conceive a child.  Days turned to months, months turned to years.  It was very frustrating to me. I couldn't control this one desire.  In December of 1993, I turned to the Blessed Mother and prayed that if it was God's will to let me have a child.  The next month, I was so sick and thought I had the flu, the rest is history as they say.  I had the 9 month flu. 

I remember my first mothers day card-it was from Sue's mom.  Sue being one of my best friends!  It made me feel so special.  I was so happy to have a baby.  When M was delivered, it was by far one of the best days of my life.  My C was born 22 months later and not a day does not go by , that I do not thank Jesus Christ for my children.  I have been blessed in ways, I was never able to manage.

I know we all think our own children are the best, but to be honest, I know I have the best girls I could have.  They are both beautiful, caring, kind and smart.  Everyone loves them!  They are respectful!  I love my girls with everything in my heart. 

Thank you J for giving me the children I have always desired!

Happy Mothers Day to all the moms out there!  Ones who fill in when the "real" thing is not there.
