Having been a mother most of my life...yes, really! I feel I have some credibility when talking about Mother's Day. When expecting my first child I couldn't wait for my 1st Mother's Day. It came and went with little fanfare and yet, I knew I was different, I was now a mother. As the years wore on and my girls were my life, all I wanted for Mother's Day was a day off, time alone, quiet, and peace. As I grow older and life is busy and my children are many, I long for time alone with each of them. Time to talk, listen, laugh, cry, to be there with them and for them. To truly know them. And as they continue to leave the nest and scatter to who knows where, I already know that I'll just long to have them near...at Mother's Day and throughout the year.
With all it's challenges, I love being a Mom...because I have such great kids!!
