Privilege
I have the privilege to be a mother.
When I started thinking about being a mother, it's the first word that came to mind. Of course, unconditional love is up there, too. Being a mother is the hardest job and most rewarding job. (I know that wasn't an original thought, but it's the truth.)

I have the privilege to be a mother.
When I started thinking about being a mother, it's the first word that came to mind. Of course, unconditional love is up there, too. Being a mother is the hardest job and most rewarding job. (I know that wasn't an original thought, but it's the truth.)
Sometimes I ask myself, how did I get so lucky to have such a sweet family?
I think back to the months before we found out we were expecting Will. Those were dark days. I didn't know if we could ever have children, and I was trying to come to terms with that. We were thrilled and surprised to find out I was pregnant. It was the same situation when we were trying for a second baby. I was ready to start fertility drugs when I found out we were expecting Ben. I don't ever take for granted my two healthy sons. It's hard for me to remember the emotions I felt during those sad times because my life is so full of joy now. Going through that has made me eternally grateful for the blessing of motherhood.
It's truly a privilege.
Happy Mother's Day
It's so beautiful to read how much you embrace the love you all share as a family.
ReplyDeleteHave a Mother's Day filled with blessings, Michele!
What a sweet post. I, too, struggled with infertility--secondary infertility. It's hard to believe by looking at my header in my blog, though. I cherish every moment with my kids, and I never take anything for granted. I realize how blessed I am to have them. I hope you have a wonderfully blessed Mother's Day. love the pictures of you and your boys!
