Mother's Day Thoughts

I wasn't sure if I wanted to post anything today but I knew that I needed to. Mother's Day is not an easy day for me because of a few reasons. I want to honor the two women that have shaped me into who I am today and who I hope to emulate one day as a Mom.

To the woman that carried me, loved me despite my faults, supported my crazy decisions and was the MOST remarkable woman I have ever known. To my Mom, Kathy. There is not a day that goes by that I don't miss you and desperately wish that you were still here. You were the pillar of strength and love, you always sacrificed for your family without question or hesitation. You are now our guardian Angel who watches over us. I love you with all my heart and I will never forget you.




To my sister, Lisa. You are the matriarch of our family now and you have taken on that role so selflessly. You are there for me through everything and I could not imagine my life without you. You are a tremendous mother and I see so much of Mom in you. Thank you for all that you do and I love you more than you know.


To all those that are celebrating today, I wish you a very Happy Mother's Day.

However, my sweet husband and family have said to me many times today that I am a momma. A mother to 6 sweet angel babies and to these two:

 
To those who are struggling I leave you with this:
