Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's day to all of my friends, fellow scrappers and family. Today was a happy but sad day for me all in one. I was sad because I had to work today - which meant that I didn't get to spend the entire day with my son nor my family. However, after work, I picked Gavin up from his dad's house, and we spent time with my parents and my sisters family. It was a good night overall and I have to look at the fact that I am blessed in so may ways.

I am overjoyed to think that I have been blessed to be a mother for the past 6 years. Gavin has really filled my life in so many ways. He has shown me many times what unconditional love is all about. He comes to me each and every day that he is with me and tells me over and over how much he loves me and then gives me the sweetest hugs and kisses. He is such an amazing child in so many ways. His heart is bigger than I could ever have asked for, for both me and for his father, which shows me that through everything that my son has gone through - that Jeremy and I are raising him quite well, despite the fact that we are doing it in separate homes. He has learned what it means to love someone with your whole heart, how to be kind, patient and understanding. It's amazing to see a six year old with so much compassion for people and for life.

Looking back over the past six years of having Gavin in my life, I just love how much he has grown and how much he has taught me. He has taught me to be more patient and the most important thing he has taught me is that I have to learn to forgive and forget for things that may seem bad at the time, but in the end are quite trivial. He has taught me that family comes first no matter what and so much more. So today it makes me proud that I am a mother and I am proud that Gavin is in my life. I look forward to the many years to come - where my life will be enriched daily by this handsome and beautiful soul.

God bless all the mother's out there - I hope you've enjoyed your special day!
