Reflections of a mother..........

Today I've been thinking about how much I love my children and the joy that they bring into my life. It is an interesting experience watching them grow from little ones to adults making their own decisions and way in life. Each stage brings it's ups and downs but I guess that is the way life is.

The love I feel for my children remains no matter what they do or say. I laugh with them in times of joy and weep with them in times of pain and sadness. I go through what they go through. It is hard sometimes because all I want to do is take away the pain and, even though mother's can fix most hurts, sometimes there are things you just can't put a bandaid on. All I can do is be there to support them through those times.

Each of my children is unique and are special to me for different reasons. Without any one of them my life would not be the same. They are individuals but are part of me.

Being a mother is awesome. I am so thankful for the opportunity I've have to be a mother, to learn the things I have and to feel the joy I've felt. It has been a wonderful journey so far and I look forward to many more years of the same.
