In honour of Mothers Day I want to first wish my mom a Happy Mother’s Day as well as all the amazing Women in my life who have been “moms” to me! Thank you for letting me borrow you when I needed to, for being a huge part in not only the women I’ve become but the mother I’ve become as well! I’ve been lucky enough to have many motherly figures in my life and am so thankful to each and everyone of you! To all the new mom’s in my life, who are celebrating their 1st Mother’s Day as well, Thank you for your unbelievable support, humour, talks and pots of coffee as we all embark on this journey together! I am so thankful to have each one of you in my, and my family’s life! Happy Mothers Day!
Today I get to celebrate my first “official” Mothers day with the two most amazing men I know! Spoiled rotten with flowers, gifts, breakfast, cards, and the opportunity to sleep in…..but of course that didn’t happen….Since becoming a mom the ability to sleep in has seemed to disappear, I just can’t stand to be with out that little man! Being a mom is truly the best job in the world and I’m lucky enough to have it! I knew being a mom was going to be great, but this Amazing I could have never in my wildest dreams comprehended. I am in awe everyday, not only is it unbelievable I brought this tiny life into the world but how perfect he is. The open mouthed drool covered kisses, snuggles, smiles awake and sleeping. His infectious laugh, bright eyes, sense of unconditional love, curiosity, as well as his ability to learn and grow are just a few of the things that make being a mom so Amazing.
Mothers Day these past few years quite honestly was a day I dreaded, wished I could sleep through or skip all together. It’s the only day I’ve ever felt that way about, but I found after loosing my mom it was a hard one. Harder then the date in september which we lost her, birthdays or Christmas’s. It didn’t matter where you turned there was another reminder for me that my mom isn’t here. This year I didn’t dread it as much it’s more bitter sweet. Bitter because of oh how much I wish she was here to share the day with me, to be able to cuddle Laken and oh how her face would have lit up when she held him. Oh and of course her laugh, it was infectious, she would have laughed so much at my little man and his mischievous smile. It’s also sweet though, because these last few months Laken has shown me how much joy a child can bring into your life and what an Amazing job it is to be a mother. To know I was able to give that to my mom gives me a sense of peace. I know she’s around and we took her pink tulips yesterday, laid them on her grave and wished her a very Happy Mothers Day! Mothers Day has taken on a whole new meaning now though with having a little man of my own and I cannot wait for the many more mothers days yet to come!
