Celebrating my most important job descriptor - MOM!
Nearly 22 years ago, I was blessed to conceive my first child . And while I’ve written much about the experience of motherhood, every single day holds a surprise! Today’s surpise was how happy I could be just breathing the same air and standing in the same light as my precious young-adult children. Yes, I’m a cliche and I love it. These three are quite simply, the most amazing creatures ever made & I’m constantly in awe of the people they’ve become.
I longed to be a mother from the time I was small, and I know I’m unusual in how early I wanted it & how fervently I desired it. Even now, with 22 years come and gone & a 21 year old, 19 year old & nearly 17 year old walking this earth, I still revel in how much I love them & love my job - it takes my breath away.
They cooked for me, took me to lunch, bought me presents, went to church and sat with me, praised God alongside me and then laughed alongside me, as we spent the afternoon at the movies. All of that was awesome! But it wouldn’t have mattered where we were, really. I’m just happy to be with them. They are my light, my life, my everything. My Joshua. My Noah. My Hannah. As always, I am #moreblessedthanideserve
