Eighteen years ago, I celebrated my last Mother's Day with my own momma. I miss her. I will say a special prayer of thanksgiving tomorrow for the short time we had together and another for the blessing of knowing she is no longer in pain and sitting at the feet of Jesus with one of her grandchildren.
Ten years ago, I was half-way thru my pregnany with Jared, celebrating my first "real" Mother's Day as a gravid woman awaiting the birth of her child. Tommy, my stepson at the time, had made me a wonderful card at Kokomo Christian and I still have that card today.
Five years ago, I was nearing the end of pregnancy with the twins. I was more excited for Father's Day for my husband than Mother's Day for me that year. Shawn was about to experience his first of many things with his boys.
Last year, I was gearing up for our one homestudy visit with Terri to help us bring our child home from Ukraine and mourning the loss of A.J. at this time, last year, I knew--knew Alexander was not truly available for adoption.
This year, like I stated earlier, I am now the mother of 4 boys. Four AMAZING miracles, each one so very special and so very loved and wanted in this world. I hope I am able to show the boys how much they all mean to me. I want to be able to show them how much each one has blessed me and changed me, for the better of course, and, I pray, they never forget our short time together here on this Earth too.
love,
"I will go before you and will level the mountains; I will break down gates of bronze and cut through bars of iron. I will give you hidden treasures, riches stored in secret places, so that you may know that I am the LORD, the God of Israel, who summons you by name." Isaiah 45:2-3 (NIV)
