My 4 dear children,
Today is Mother’s Day.
For the first 22 years of my life, this was the day for celebrating my lovely mother. I can’t say enough to you about the brave, gentle, sacrificing, beautiful woman that I call Momma. Her legacy lives on in you.
In 2002 Mother’s Day changed for me forever. In 2002 the blessing of motherhood was bestowed upon me. I will never be the same.
And that leads to today…
Today I will remember waking up with Anya snuggling up next to me in my bed.
Today I will remember Josiah’s repeated kisses on my lips as I tried to sing in church.
Today I will remember Timmy requesting “boo, boo” and climbing into my lap with a book.
Today I will remember the broad smile on Daniella’s face after demonstrating her new gymnastics move.
Today I will remember celebrating the magnificence of God’s plan when He gave you 4 children to me.
Most say, “Happy Mother’s Day.” And indeed happiness is a significant part of this day. But it is only a part. Words fail me, and the depth of emotion and commitment that comes with this most sacred role cannot be expressed.
I love you, my children.
With all my heart,
Momma
