Happy Mother's Day

 

 

 

 

 

All That I am
And ever HOPE to be ...

I owe it all
To my
ANGEL MOTHER.

(- Abraham Lincoln)

 

 

 

 

Before I Was A Mom
(Author Unknown)

Before I was a Mom
I made and ate hot meals. I had unstained clothing.

I had quiet conversations on the phone.

I had romantic time with my hunny.

Before I was a Mom
I slept as late as Iwanted and never worried

about how late I got into bed.

I brushed my hair and my teeth everyday.

Before I was Mom
I cleaned my house each day.

I never tripped over toys or forgot words to lullabies.

Before I was a Mom
I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous.

I never thought about immunizations.

Before I was a Mom
I had never been puked on pooped on spit on

chewed on peed on or pinched by tiny fingers.

Before I was a Mom
I had complete control of my mind, my thoughts,

my body and my mind. I slept all night.

Before I was a Mom
I never held down a screaming child

so that doctors could do tests or give shots.

I never looked into teary eyes and cried.

I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.

I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep.

Before I was a Mom
I never held a sleeping baby

just because I didn't want to put it down.

I never felt my heart break into a million pieces

when I couldn't stop the hurt.

I never knew that something so small

could affect my life so much.

I never knew that I could love someone so much.

I never knew I would love being a Mom.

Before I was a Mom
I didn't know the feeling of having my heart

outside my body.

I didn't know how special it could feel

to feed a hungry baby.

I didn't know that bond between a Mother and her child.

I didn't know that something so small

could make me feel so important.

Before I was a Mom
I had never gotten up in the middle of the night

every 10 minutes to make sure all was ok.

I had never known the warmth the joy

the love the heartache

the wonderful-ment or the satisfaction of being a Mom.

I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much

...before I was a Mom.

 

A Note Of Compassion

 

Holidays aren't always Celebrations.
Sometimes, they HURT.

Sometimes, they remind us

Of Our Losses ...

If you have lost your Mom,

Your Grandmother,

Or the Mother of Your Children,

Today can be hard.

 

If you have lost a child,

Today can be hard.

 

If you never knew your Mom,

Today can be hard.

 

But TODAY

Can be a reminder of
HOW MUCH MOTHERS BRING

To this world

And
The LOVE that is passed

From generation to generation

In the hearts of

MOTHERS.

 

Warm Thoughts and Gentle Hugs
To YOU ...
All the mothers and all the children

Whose LOVE survived your loss.

 

 

Love and Light, Taylor
