I have had an emotional week as I contemplated the upcoming celebration of Mother's Day. I felt excited that I would be celebrating my first Mother's Day. I thought a lot about how blessed I feel to have Samantha in my life. People have always told me that you can never know how much your parents love you until you have your own child. I am just starting to realize how true that really is. It makes you feel such gratitude for your Mom & Dad for doing so many things for you that you were never aware of.
I look at Samantha was such awe. She overwelms me. Nothing can compare to the way that I feel when I look at her. What a miracle it is to have children. I feel so honored that I have the opportunity to care for one of God's children. She brings so much joy and happiness into my life everyday. I love watching her learn and grow. It has been such a fun and challenging adventure for Nic and I since she has been born. When I look at Nic while he is playing with Sam I am always reminded of that line from Hope Floats....
"My cup runneth over".
Happy Mother's Day!
