“Our children give us the opportunity to become the parents we always wished we’d had.” - Louise Hart (1881-1950)
Being a mother is the most rewarding experience. There are many memories that stick out...each child's birth experience, what it took to get them to stop crying, the funny things they did, the broken bones, times at the playground, smiles after visiting the "cookie lady", teaching them to read and the excitement when the first book was read, reading at bed time, praying at the couch, dressing up on Sunday, hair dramas, twirly dresses, 1st day at "real school", walking a 7th grader to the bus stop, the pain of teenage years, cheering at marching band competition, excitement at art shows, tears and shouts of joy at each graduation (kindergarten, 8th grade, High School, Nursing College, Bootcamp) musical performances with leading roles, formal rendevous, house hunting, game nights....etc. the memories continue.
Nowadays, the times I can spend with my kids are greatly cherished. By the end of this month, they will all be living out of the home. This is a weird transition time for me...it's been a joy to see them grow up before my eyes. Now..it's time to watch them from afar.
My prayer is that they filter through what they've learned from their Mom, please remember the good, forgive the bad and improve what I did for the next generation. Just remember, your Mommy loves you & is always praying for you & will be your #1 fan...forever!
P.S. You are all my favorites!!! Awesome, Awesome & Awesome!!!
