So, I am significantly lacking in my blog posts lately. I guess I need to say something about Mother's Day, though what is there to say other than it was wonderful! Since we go to church on Saturday's, we were able to spend the entire day together, just hanging out and enjoying each other. I remember a time when Mother's Day was so painful that I almost became a recluse on those weekends. I had such a longing to be a mother and questioned whether this dream would ever come true. Now, I am so thrilled and happy to be called "Mommy" by one precious little girl! She is the highlight of my day and a reason to smile each day. I feel so incredibly lucky and blessed to have her in my life. I simply can't imagine my life without her. Although, if I am being completely honest, Amy was a little on the fussy side on Mother's Day (obviously not quite understanding that the day was to be all about me!), I still enjoyed being with my wonderful husband and my delightful daughter. God has been so good to me and I thank him every day for Amy.
As a side note, I have to say that I simply love our church in that they recognize that Mother's Day might not be a happy day for everyone whether it is those women who have lost a mother or lost a child or who long to have a child. I get choked up each time when they take the time to recognize those women in prayer and to acknowledge how painful this day can be for people.
