I know that today I should talk solely about how much these 3 mean to me & how this is the greatest job in the world. Which they do & it is!
But hear me out…
Growing up there wasn’t a single part of me that ever imagined not having kids as an adult! Being a mom was all I ever wanted. I had always dreamed of having 3 kids & I will love them with all I am for the rest of my life!
But I want to talk about the fact that having kids gave me SO much more then just the title of Mom.
These 3 have helped me find myself in ways that I never even knew I could!
They have helped me grow, tested my boundaries, my emotions, my empathy, my patience, my strength, my anger, my pride, my morals, they have taught me to be confident in myself so that I can show them that confidence comes in all shapes and sizes!
They have taught me to forgive when forgiveness feels so far away.
They have shown me how the simplest small things can be the huge things.
They have allowed me to not give AF to a lot of things in the world besides what and who is most important! & they have made me become a better version of who I thought I was because of allowing me to dig deep into my roots!
I thought that all I ever wanted to be was a Mom… but I’ve learned over the last 8 years of being one that I wanted so much more then that. I just needed them to help me find the worth within myself to become more.
Today as a Mom to these 3 beautiful hilarious, fun, spunky, sassy, resilient, sensitive, amazing kids. I am proud to say that thanks to them … I have found me!
Now & forever I will be SO much more then just a mom because although being a mom is & forever will be one of my proudest titles that I could ever give myself… its also just ONE of the titles that I can give myself & that it’s not selfish of me to want more then just that one title! They make me want to continue to be an example that you can be so many things!
Happy Mothers day to all the MOMS in every single form. This is not an easy job & it tests every single part of us. Just remember that EVERY SINGLE DAY, you are worthy, you are special, you are loved and you are SOO much more then you give yourself credit for! ❤️
