i'm getting older and way sappier. i can't help it. not exactly sure why, but i have a pretty good hunch...it's gotta have something to do with my own lived experiences shaping my perspectives and causing me to realize how amazing my earliest memories were. how those experiences framed my entire life in a way that allowed me to enter my journey of motherhood with a good and right sense of what i was about to embark on....twenty one years later, as i/we raise this bunch, i'm even more grateful. this isn't a sprint, it's a marathon. as years pass i understand more, i can relate more, i feel it the same as my own mother did and still does.
i'm also so thankful for my mother-in-law this Mother's Day. my dear husband is a product of a mother who invested, who loved faithfully, consistently and who supported and nurtured him all the way through his life, and still does. i see parts of her in him, and i'm thankful.
in a world where so many are without this consistent presence of a mom in their lives, where so many long for more and so many have broken hearts and missing pieces~ we are immensely thankful our mothers chose to love us well...
