I love this picture of my mother and I. I cant believe at my age now, that is how old she is in this picture. She looks so happy and so elegantly beautiful. This Mothers Day was for some reason tough for me. I wasn't exactly looking forward to it and I now realize why. I am now a mother of 3 amazing boys and a wife to an outstanding man. There are days that I feel inadequate as a mother, a wife and even a daughter.
Mothers Day is always going to be a good day to celebrate mothers of all kinds. Adoptive mothers, mothers who have been introduced through maybe a second marriage as a step mother, grandmothers, surrogates, aunts who adore their nieces and nephews, soon to be mothers and even those who may have lost their children in one way or another.
I truly feel like as I am getting older I understand all the excitement mixed with heartache that my mother, step mother and mother in law have gone through (and still are going through). It isn't easy being a mother but it is also the best thing in the whole wide world.
Mothers are needed to nurture everyday whether the child realizes it or not. They are needed even when you yourself becomes a mother, you still need your mother. Never will there be a time, place or world that wont need mothers because they are truly the best part of living. Whether it be a good day or even maybe a bad one you still have those parts of everyday where you see the world through your children and remember that you yourself use to be in need of a mothers everyday love.
You will never grow out of needing your mothers love. Its just nothing that can even come close. I am so grateful for being a mother and to have such a supportive husband that understands that I only want to be a "MOTHER."
