Tears of Joy

Mothers Day is such a special day for me now that I'm a mom. Even though it's a day to honor Mother's, the past few years it has meant more to me than just being grateful for such a wonderful Mom. Clay and I tryed to start a family five years before it actually happened. During this time I would absolutely DREAD Mother's Day for obvious reasons. I wanted so desprately to BE a mother. It was literally a day of mourning for me. I remember the Mother's day I was pregnant with the twins I made Clay get me a gift because it was so wonderful to finally be able to celebrate the fact that I was to be a mom! It was the first time I cried tears of joy all Mother's day instead of tears of despair and hopelessness. I was so excited to strive to be the kind of Mother that my Mother had been to me and rise to the challenge that I had heard so much about. Anyway, every Mother's day since then has been Bliss. I am so grateful for the opportunity to have my three little angels with me here on earth. Someday's I get swallowed up in the routine and I forget how I wanted so much to have this life of selflessnes and love.

Yesterday as I watched my little ones I was reminded of this.
I'm so very blessed.

It does make you feel really blessed, doesn't it? I think it's the best job in the world.
