Mother's Day

This Mother's Day was my first official Mother's Day. The last few years Mother's Day has been bitter sweet for me. Sad because I still wasn't a mother, but I had hope that I would be one one day. Each passing Mother's Day I would tell myself that by this time the following year I would have a baby. Bless my heart. I know now that babies don't just come because you say so, babies come because a very scared girl makes the hardest, bravest best decision that she has ever made. As I took a moment yesterday to marinate in my life, I can still remember how my heart ached for her and how now every day that I see her smile, that day is the best day of my life.
