Mother's Day!

Today, I can finally celebrate Mother's Day as a mother! Last Mother's Day was the hardest one I ever had to endure. I felt that there was no end in sight. After 7 years of thinking, "by next Mother's Day, I'll for sure be a Mother" you start to lose that hope that it will ever actually happen. Last year I wrote this post on my Facebook page... "I think, if I ever get to be a mother, I'll turn Mother's Day in my home to celebrate your miracle children day!" Well. Today I want to celebrate my son! I am so grateful, blessed, excited, and proud to have my beautiful boy. I can truly say that I have been blessed beyond measure, more than I ever thought possible, with this perfect little one. God knew what I needed. Even if I didn't. I didn't understand then, but now I do. I felt like I was being punished, but If I had known how wonderful being his mother would be, I would've waited more patiently, more gracefully throughout those 7 years. I wouldn't have had so many sleepless nights wondering what I had done wrong to have to endure such pain in my heart. If I had known the love and joy I was about to feel by being chosen to be this amazing boy's mother, it would've made it all worth it and so much easier to endure. I would do it again in a heartbeat knowing what I know now. He was definitely worth the wait. I have gone from thinking, what did I do wrong to deserve this heartache, to, I must have done something really right to deserve this boy and these feelings. Grant has healed my heart completely! He has changed my world totally for the better. My life is more than I hoped and dreamed it would be. It is perfect. I have been given the world's two greatest boys. How did I get so lucky to deserve them? I am the world's luckiest mom on this, my first (of many to come) Mother's Day! I thank Heavenly Father for making everything better... Better than I could've ever imagined. Thank you for my most amazing gift and entrusting me with your most perfect spirits. Joe and Grant. I am so blessed. I love my boys more than words can express! I hope you all have a beautiful Mother's Day. If you aren't a mother yet, but are striving to become one. Learn from me. Don't give up, and god will make it all right. And better than you could ever dream. Just DON'T GIVE UP!!!!! If I had given up when I wanted to, this would have never happened.
