Being a motherless mother on my first Mother's Day; what a bittersweet feeling. As with all milestones in my life (wedding, graduations, pregnancy, etc.) and even the least eventful days when I'm missing my Mom- TODAY- mother's day (well, it was actually yesterday), is a bit hard to swallow. I just imagine my Mom holding Gavin and talking me through my fears and celebrating and giggling and being just as excited as I am with each new thing he does. She was such a wonderful Mother to my brother and I and I know that if I can be HALF the mother to Gavin that she was to us- all will be well! :)
I love my Mom so much and miss her each and every day. I'll never forget how much she genuinely believed in me and was so encouraging with each endeavor I set out towards. She believed I could be the first female president- FOR REAL- she really did---knowing that is priceless in what it does for a child to know how much their parent loves them and believes in them. I'm thankful to God for the 20 years he gave me with her and I hope that in some way, she's able to "see" my little family and smile and know that all is well.
I love you Mom!
