Mom...

Since becoming a mother I have come to realize that mother's are the real hero's.

Dads are too...but today I want to talk about moms.

And my mom particularly.

She was always so involved.

Always there. Always wanting the very best for us.

She made sure we were happy, comfortable, taken care of.

That we ourselves were involved, had a good education. That we had ample experiences that would help with our growth. 

That we were fed, clean, happy.

My mom did a lot when we were little. My dad worked hard, and she took care of us by herself many days. 

With two little kids of my own I am in awe of how I never remember my parents complaining about how hard parenthood was. They took it in stride. 

I'm so grateful for that.

To have always felt a sense of belonging, peace, and love in my home.

And now with two little ones. I have NEVER been more grateful. She would drop anything to come help. I honestly could not have done it without her. We had so much help from both parents when Jude and Ella was born. They took great care of us and continue to do so. 

We owe it to our moms.
