Mother's day

So it's mother's day.

I remember when I was little I would try to think of what I could make my mom.

I'd paint her a picture.

Maybe pick her some dandilions.

Put my hand print on a piece of paper with finger paint and write my name on it.

I always tried to do something special just for her.

I knew that Mother's day was the one holiday that we really showed our mom's

just how much they mean to us.

But it wasn't until I became a mother that I really realized the sacrafice my mother made for me.

All the hard work that she put into me from the moment I was conceived.

Carried me for 9 mos.

Gave birth to me after hours of labor

(which I tell you now is the hardest freakin thing I've ever experienced)

changed my diapers.

worried about my health.

Clothed me.

Fed me.

Loved me unconditionally.

Taught me.

disciplined me.

My mom would have given her life for me if she ever had to.

and I get that all now because I am doing it all for my son.

I now understand the love that a mother has for her child is a love that is beyond description until you've experienced it yourself.

and on this Mother's day I can't help but to feel so blessed because I know that my mom loves me the same way that I love my son.

I feel so thankful for that.

I honestly understand the meaning of Mother's day.

In such a busy world it is easy to look past the great things our mothers do for us.

Thank God we have at least one day that can focus on just that.

Moms, you deserve it!

Thank you, Mom.

I love you!
