As most blogs here, just wanted to wish all you moms a wonderful day first. So to all of you wonderful moms.. Happy Mother's Day.

This is a cute skit by the Skit Guys in honor of Mother's Day:

Why Do Mom's Get A Day???

And a card for each of you, from me in honor of your best accomplishments:
Happy Mother's Day to all the MD Moms

I woke this morning to a call from a male friend of mine. We had dated in the past, and things and life happened and it was done, but he called to wish me a Happy Mother's Day and it touched me deeply. So I asked him why did he take the time to do something this sweet? He said because he SAW an HEARD the love I have for my children in the times we talked while we were together and he understood because he knew his mom was the same.

I think about this each and every Mother's Day of my life. I thank my mom for my life, but I think I should also thank my children for making me a mom and even my ex. You see, I knew LOVE before my children came into my life, but I never really knew LOVE existed in every second of every day until I had my children. My children are grown and on their own, but there is not one single solitary moment I do NOT worry about their safety, happiness and health. It doesn't overwhelm me, this love, but it is always present.

From the moment I took one look at them after their arrival in the outside world, my heart beated differently. It had more of a reason to beat. The Father entrusted me with two of His children to nuture, to care for, to make safe. What a job! What a responsibility! But what a fulfulling and rewarding job.

From the moment each of my children arrived in my life, my life changed. Even while carrying these wonderful creatures, life as I had known it changed. There were no more wild nights because even if I didn't give a rat's behind about how I felt after a night of debauchery and fun.. it would affect that baby! I found my nuturing side...the one that worries about the hopes, dreams and well-being of that individual they created through LOVE.

I have never felt so tired, but so willing to go that extra effort to make things safe and warm for them. After my two Irish Twins (that's is what we jokingly called them as they are 11 months, 3 weeks, and 1 day apart) were in my life, there was no sick days that I could call in and say.. "sorry, babies, but I cannot be a mom today, I am not feeling well". But through all the messes that came with the experiences of children finding their happiness through leaving things that lost their interest strewn all over the house, though all the scrapes and bumps that I kissed to make better, to all the tears I lived through when things didn't go as planned when they were hoping for a certain outcome, for the times when I worried about their safety while driving on roads that I hoped they would remember their safe driving instructions, for all the times they were sick and I held their hair or hands while they sat puking, etc. etc. etc. I never grew tired of watching you sleep, this miracle that I helped create.. I watched your eyes move under your eyelids and your fingers twitch, smiles that lined your face, your legs that moved.. and I understood LOVE.

This is one position in my life I would never trade for all the money or fame or whatever motivates others towards goals in life. Because I never really knew LOVE as deep as I do now that I have experienced Motherhood. So there is one other person I need to thank for making me a mom, that is my ex. Though we thought we would be "forever", it didn't last, but I will always be thankful for the two most wonderful gifts you gave me and I returned back to you.. our children.

Enjoy the day ladies.. I will because my heart is full and warm!
