WOW! I can't believe this will be my first Mother's Day. What a tremendous blessing. I thank God everyday for our precious little girl, a.k.a. "our little miracle".
Do not get me wrong, I think all mothers are amazing human beings and everyone of them should be recognized everyday for everything they do, but I want to vent a little about all of those who are mothers in every sense of the word, without being called "mom."
It takes a special person to be a mom, I know that. It takes an even better person to open their homes to children that are not biologically theirs. Mom, in every sense of the word, is about being a selfless caregiver, and loving unconditionally. Sometimes "moms" don't get the title. For some reason this is irritating me today. I know so many wonderful women who take care of children that are not biologically theirs. These women are teachers, aunts, adoptive parents, or just a neighbor who knows a child in a bad situation and does everything in their power to make their lives better. These women are "moms" in every sense of the word.
My sister happens to be one of these wonderful women. Not only does she take care of herself, go to school, and maintain a household, she selflessly gives to her students, neice and nephew. Under her care these kids have transitioned into well behaved, well rounded children, who would have not otherwise known this amazing life her and her husband have created for them.
I want to encourage everyone out there to stop for a minute if you know any of these amazing women, and tell them "Happy Mother's Day". Most of the time they do not get the recognition they deserve, so let's change that today.
Now that my rant is over, I am going to relish Mother's Day with our little miracle.
Happy Mother's Day
