Now that I am a Mom, Mother's Day has a much different meaning, for obvious reasons, but also because, even though they always tell you, just wait until you have kids, you will understand once you are a mom...
You really do not know what it is like to be a Mom until you are!!
The unconditional love that you have for your children.
The never, ever, ever, ending job of being a Mom.
The work, energy, love, work, energy, work, more love... that it takes to be a Mom.
All of these things make me appreciate my own Mom so much more. There are not enough words for me actually to express that appreciation, but what I can say is "I love you and Thank You." All I can hope is that someday Hailey and Madison will be celebrating their first Mother's Day and that they too will realize that being a Mom is the most amazing, yet challenging thing that we can do!!
