Mother's Day and More

I have to write a little something about my mom for Mother’s Day. I can’t express the blessing I have from having my mom as ….my mom! She is absolutely amazing. I have the mom that patiently will sit there while I rant and rave about everything under the Sun and chuckle because she thinks I’m hilarious. I have a mom who ALWAYS says a kind word about everyone and always puts herself in other people’s shoes. I can’t count the times my mom would buy me something in high school and go without so I could have everything. My mom is my best friend and my advisor in life.

This summer my mom, me and my sister have decided to take a girls road trip to New Mexico to see where she grew up…I can’t wait! I can’t wait to be in the car with my mom and again chat about everything and probably shed a few tears (us girls always cry).
I’m so blessed to have my mom. I’m very grateful that the man upstairs let me be her daughter.

Read the poem below…stole it from a friend but it’s sometimes how I feel:)

“Happy Mother's Day”
it comes around every year;


but when you have empty arms,
it's very hard to hear.

It's a day to celebrate a mother;
for all the trials she overcame;
and a reminder to an infertile
of her loneliness and shame.


But what really makes a mother,
Is it just conception and birth?
Or is there something more,
that shows a mother's worth?


It's putting your child first,
in everything you do;
it's sacrifice and determination,
and love and patience too.


An infertile woman makes all her plans,
around a child not yet conceived;
she loves them even though they aren't here,
more than she ever could have believed.


She appreciates and understands,
what a blessing that children are;
she works hard for just a chance,
that motherhood is not that far.


All odds are stacked against her,
and yet she still has hope;
everyday is another struggle,
finding ways to help her cope.


So even though her arms are empty,
she can still be a mother too;
So say a special “Happy Mother's Day”
for those waiting for their dreams to come true!
