Mother's Day

Mother's Day this year was very special to me... it was my first year of being a mommy. Bobby has always acknowledged this day for me for being a pseudo-mom to Ryan, and last year I was pregnant, but this year I actually have my own little baby that calls me mom. Being a mommy for the past year has been nothing I would have ever imagined. It has been hard, and trying, and at times I just wanted to lock myself in a closet... but you know what? I wouldn't change a thing. My little girl is THE biggest most amazing blessing I've ever received. She is the light of the world. I'm so blessed. I also am blessed with some of my own awesome mommy's! MY mommy of course, who is amazing. I don't know how she raised us all those years alone without being committed at some point. I'd lose my mind if it weren't for Bobby. I have such a deeper respect for her and the unconditional love she has always had for us no matter what. I have a great mom-in-law who was an amazing parent to my husband, leaving him with a great skills to be a wonderful dad. I also have another 'mom' who I've been blessed to have in my life the past 3 years. She my not be my 'mom' but I look to her in that respect. Lisa is one of the most caring people I think Ive ever met. She and Greg have opened their home to me when they didn't have to. She has supported Bobby and I from the begining, which was a surprise in and of itself. Most of all, she has accepted being a Nana to babies that have no blood relation to her at all, she has no obligation, and yet she adores Lilly and treats her like gold. I can't express how in awe I am of her ability to love and accept.

So to all my mom's Happy Mommy's day

OH I almost forgot, that on Mother's Day, Lilly was dedicated to our Lord and Savior Christ Jesus, in our church! She wore a lovely pink dress that my daddy sent to her. The prayer that day was absolutely beautiful and brought me to sobbing tears. Just beautiful. Grammie, and Nanna came to watch. She loved having people she loves there with her.
