The Joys of Motherhood

today is a special day.

its one where i find myself feeling so overwhelming grateful and quite emotional.

i have been blessed with an amazing mother who i owe everything to.

she was my everything for 19 years of my life, until i married my best friend.

i have been blessed with a loving mother-in-law who raised an incredible son.

i have been blessed with amazing sister and sister-in-laws that are my examples and teach me and help me raise my children today.

i have been blessed with a wonderful nan-in-law (if that is such a term, i'll just call her nan), she doesn't know it but i love her as my own : ).

i have been blessed with life long friends and can share this wonderful journey of motherhood with.

but, the biggest blessing of all is that i have been blessed to be able to be a mother to two crazy cute boys on this mortal earth.

i feel privileged to be able to have not only one son but TWO.

this journey of motherhood is a roller coaster.

it has it's ups and it sure has it's downs.

but even in those down times i look upon these two boys loving eyes and know that i have been blessed with the opportunity to be called mother.

my children will never quite understand the love i have for them until they become parents themselves.

my love for the in unconditional and will never waver is good times and most certainly the bad times.

the role of a mother is a divine one.

growing up nothing ever felt quite right when i thought about my future career (this is still the case), until the day i held my first born for the very first time.

this role as mother was instilled with me, for the first time in my life i felt like i knew what i wanted and what i was doing.

for me, it feels natural to be a mother and i feel that my life has a purpose.

sure, it is hard work and they drive me crazy most of the times, ok, ALL the times.

these things are called (what my mother likes to tell me) the "Joys of Motherhood."
