As I was writing my Daddy Day 2013 post yesterday, I realized I never did a post on Mommy Day! In the midst of leaving for our vacation 2 days after Mother's Day, I guess it got swallowed up.
But it's never too late to mention it, right?!
Mommyhood is everything people told me it would be and more. I feel like I can't say anything that hasn't been said before by the billions of mothers before me, but I know my life has been changed forever. I just didn't realize you could love someone with every single ounce of your being. The love is so strong that it brings tears to my eyes on a weekly basis and no, I'm not even exaggerating when I say that.
Thank you, Stella. You took Mother's Day to a whole new level for me.
And then there is my own mother. She is a saint and the epitome of dependable. There isn't a thing in this world she wouldn't do for me (or any of her kids). She is a giver and her beaming personality is contagious. She makes mothering seem easy when in reality, she's just that good at it. Then on top of that (and to steal this line from somewhere else), I must've been first in line when God was handing out mother-in-laws because mine is just plain wonderful. It's hard for Moms to accept who their sons marry with open arms, but boy, did she ever. She welcomed me into their family and never once made me think I wasn't good enough for her son. If anything, she made me feel like I was perfect for her son. I feel comfortable around her and to me, that means everything.
