Happy Mothers Day!

I have very few intimate pictures of me and my babies when they were tiny.  There was always "tomorrow" or "when Patrice comes home".  The sweet pictures were never taken and I am in a kind of mourning about that right now.  I miss my tiny babies desperately.

I love this picture.  It was a very random shot that Patrice took when I was just hanging out with Ben and Emma and talking to them.  You can't even see Ben's face but I love it anyway.  Look at sweet Emma, engrossed in whatever I am saying to her.

I hope I was telling them how much I love and adore them.

How they rock my world!

How they made me finally feel complete.

How beautiful and perfect they are.

How they make my heart sing when they laugh.
How I hope they stay on the right path.
How I will always protect them and
teach them to make good choices.
How much they are loved as children of God!

How they and their Papa are the best thing
that has ever happened to me!

Despite what my Mom says, I am not a writer.
I have such a hard time expressing my feeling and emotions,
especially when they are true and deep within me.
I wish I could open up my heart and let the words fly!
  
I love being a Mama.  
It is a privilege to be Ben and Emma's Mama.  

I don't know how else to say it.


Happy Mothers Day
to the 2 women who have always stood by my side,
put up with me no matter what and loved me unconditionally.
Mom and Grandma, I love you!

And thank you Benjamin and Emma for making me a Mama!
