Mothers

Now I know, I know that feeling as if your heart is outside your own body, and it will be that way forever. I now know the gift of motherhood. I know the love of a mother and a child. The heartache of loving another being so much that each breathe they take is like your own breath being pulled from your chest. Although I have been thrown into motherhood in a way much different than I ever anticipated, I am grateful of the gift of being a mom to Audrina. And each mom has their own story, no story more significant than the other, the significance is just that, that we are all moms. A mother can mean a lot of things, a caring Aunt, a sister that stands by your side, a cousin that listens to your every need and prays for you, a mother-in-law that gives so much love, a dear friend that guides you through the tough times... I have all those in my life and of course the most wonderful mother in the entire world. Without these mothers I may have not made it so graciously into the world of motherhood.
I want to thank my mom for instilling in me so many wonderful values and traits. Her ability to laugh and smile is the greatest gift of all. When  I think of happiness I think of my mother’s smile ( I hope Audrina feels this way one day about me).  I hear from my mom almost every day and it is always a wonderful part of my day. She let’s me share with her the ups and downs , often we giggle and share silly, goofy things that probably myself, my sisters and my mom would only understand (or want to:).  Thank you, mom for being you and showering me with your love and joy.
On Mother’s Day I will think about and pray for all the mom’s throughout the world.

HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY!!!!!!

Luke 2:51
Then he went down to Nazareth with them and was obedient to them. But his mother treasured all these things in her heart.
