This year I received my very first Mother’s Day Art! =D And I realize the daycare teachers made this for her but it was seriously the most touching thing for me to receive. Mother’s Day this year falls on the same weekend that C turned one. Which means…I have made it past what all moms have told me is the hardest time. YAYYERRS. This year was HARD, it was beyond tiring and yet…I wish I could do it three more times! puhaha.
There has been this incredibly unique and special club that I became a part of one year ago. A special group of women who I can turn to no matter where I am or what I am doing…even if I’ve never met the person! It is so strange to know and feel the power and journey we have all been on. When I hear a baby throwing a tantrum or crying out for something~ my heart skips a beat because I TOTALLY GET IT. I know the tired eyes on that mom at the park, I know the embarrassment a mom feels when their babe does something outrageous and unexpected… I KNOW.
And what is SO CRAZY is that now whenever I see a kid that is hurt, hurting or has been hurt…an overwhelming sense of sadness comes over me and I cry for them and their families. Isn’t that SO WEIRD? One instance… I am OBSESSED with crime shows like Criminal Minds, Law & Order, L&O SVU, etc. After having C…I just could NOT watch those shows anymore. I took a long break from those shows, movies or articles because it makes me cry so much. hahaha crazy right??
sigh. anyway…
I feel so very lucky to be part of this group and I can’t wait to experience deeper and more wonderful stages of it as C gets older and we add new additions to our family. This Mommy Monday post is mainly just to address how lucky we are as moms. How lucky we are to watch these most AMAZING little ones grow up. My heart literally melts when C comes running to me with her arms open wide and a huge smile on her face. My heart melts when she calls out for me and I’m able to run to her. My heart melts when C buries her face into my neck and wraps her arms around me. And my heart melts when she brings over a book, settles her little tush in my lap and leans back~ ready for me to read a story to her. She can’t talk but when I hear her little squeals, grunts and babbles… I die. haha
um.. ok so pretty much i die over everything she does. BUT my point is…I love this new stage of life I’m in and I feel so lucky to share it with millions of other mammas in the world. =D
Happy Mother’s Day Ladies!!
