Of Three & Me

This Mother's Day marks my sixth year as a mother. It's something you can never comprehend before children are in your life. The responsibility, the stress, the worry, the happiness, the love, the tears, the joy, the Truth of what being a mother is (and a father as well), is remarkable. Sometimes I can't help but think about how easy it must be to be childless...but the guilty thought quickly leaves because I would never ever ever want a part in that world. It's hard to be a parent, and doing it by yourself can sometimes be so overwhelming you wonder how you are still alive sometimes. When I watch my babies sleep at night, I can't fathom for what reason I have been so blessed in my life. My kids bring so much unconditional happiness to me. No strings attached. They will love me forever, and that's something I can always count on. It's such a great and huge responsibility, but one I would never ever throw away. Anyone who comes into my life expecting me to put them aside, can just turn right around and go the other way. This life can be frustrating and bewildering in so many ways, and God knew what he was doing when he gave us mothers. I am thankful for my mother, who severely stresses me out sometimes, but nevertheless I love her so incredibly words cannot describe. Happy Mother's Day!
