It's Almost Mother's Day

It’s almost Mother’s Day. Only a few short days away….

And this year… I finally understand what it’s like to be a mother.

All those years of getting flowers for mom, or chocolate, or even jewelry….. When all she really wanted was to spend time with her daughter.

Being a mother is about “love.” That’s the only way I can describe it. Moms = Love. As a mother, when we first feel life stirring inside of us, something clicks. We now understand that not only are we having a baby, but that baby also holds a piece of us. Every smile our child gives us, every laugh, even every cry is precious to us. Being a mother means not only giving birth to a baby, but it means giving a piece of your soul away when you give birth. That baby now holds a piece of your soul and heart.

I almost lost my daughter… I even almost lost myself. But I didn’t, thank God. My daughter now holds many pieces of my heart and soul.

In my opinion, on Mother’s Day, we should celebrate the life of our children. Because it is our children who make us who we are as mothers. Without them, where would we be? Without them, would we be able to feel as deeply as we do now… love as deeply?

Sorry, but it’s my daughter who taught me to love, and it’s my daughter who taught me how to feel. I knew nothing of these things until I felt her kicking in my womb.

It’s almost Mother’s Day, and I’m going to celebrate it with my daughter. Celebrate her life.
