While I'm not sure what Jeff and the kids have in store for me for Mother's Day this year, I'm thinking about so many things this my third Mother's Day with my human kids here in my home (my 11th for my furry-human kid).
(1) I have 3 beautiful kids who call me Mommy (or in Bella's case Mama) plus one Sheltie kid and I love them all. While things can get crazy in our home with all of them, I wouldn't want to have it any other way.
(2) Hugs and kisses from my little ones are the best especially first thing in the morning or after the afternoon nap.
(3) Asking my kids the question "How much do you love Mommy?" and they stretch their arms out as wide as they can go to show me how much they love me (thank you to their Nana for showing them this one...it's too cute to watch Bella doing this and trying to say what I think is "so big").
The rest of my thoughts are not here. I think most of you who read this blog on a regular basis know where my thoughts are...with their First Mom and their Foster Mom. Tears and thoughts of them flow easily this week.
One woman bore the labor and delivery pains and still bears the daily emotional and physical pain of not having the children that she had within her womb to hold, to touch, to sing to, to read to, to hug, to cook for, to change diapers for, to talk to, to make sure they are loved, to make sure that their needs are being taken care of, and so much more. The other took care of them as if they were her own for many months of their early lives. I am grateful to them both beyond what words can express on paper or on here but my heart speaks volumes to them...just volumes. And I just hope that they know that.
