the greatest is to be a mother. I’m celebrating my first Mother’s Day this year. The birth of Henry not only made me a Mother, but it made Chris a Father. Our parents: Grandparents. Our brothers & sisters: Aunts & Uncles. It’s hard for me to celebrate Mothers Day, without celebrating Henry, who has allowed me to be a Mother.
His Mother.
My life is brilliant. My love is pure. I saw an angel. Of that I’m sure.
I always think no Mother could possibly love their child as much as I love Henry. But they do. And that is what is so great about being a Mother.
I have loved being a Mother. It’s the hardest work I have ever done. Trying to find the balance of raising a kind & caring boy and not neglecting who I am. Who I was born to be. Taking care of myself. Taking time out for me. Exercizing the talents & gifts God has given me. Taking time to learn and grow. The work of a Mother is never-ending, but so is the love of a child. And he is so worth it. I hope Henry will always know with surety how much he is loved. I’m hopeful that over the years, I will become a better Mother. That I will gain a better understanding of what it truely means to be a Mother. To be a good example, to have charity for others, to love unconditionally, to be steadfast, to laugh so hard we cry. I am looking forward to those times….
Thanks for making me wear dried flowers in my hair at the age of 5 and making me such a style magnet. Thanks for being such a wonderful Mother (and now Grandmother!) I love you and all that you are and have become. Thanks for passing down your creative jeans (were those creative ‘tight girl jeans’ like the big girls had and that I always wanted?) I hope they’ve been passed on to Henry (not the tight ones).
To all the Mothers in my life (yes I am blessed to have 4 total), I am so glad that we are all family- thanks for your constant examples, friendship & love. Wishing you each a wonderful day. I hope you know how much you are loved-
Morgan
