It is definitely an honor to be these little ones' mother. I always feel like Mother's Day is good for me because it helps me to remember that little fact.
Sometimes I forget.
I forget how special it is that I'm the first one they run to for questions, comfort, understanding.
I forget it is my privilege to bathe and dress each one.
I forget it is a gift to be able to nurture their unique personalities.
I forget that I'm one of the lucky ones who gets to spend my days at home.
I forget what a blessing it is to be the first one they see in the morning and the last one they see at night.
I forget that these day will pass, the kids will grow up, and they won't be babies much longer. I am trying to appreciate it. Because heaven knows, one thing I'll never forget is how stinkin' hard it is being a mother.
