My favorite part of mother's day is watching my kids sing songs to me up on the stand in Sacrament meeting. Tallie is the only one who actually likes to go up and sing. And I always get teary eyed. I can't help it. It's at that moment that it hits me that I am a mother and that I have such wonderful sweet kids who make my life complete. I see how much they have grown and how big they have gotten. Chloe breaks down in tears when I even ask her if she is going to go up and sing...she is much too shy and has such anxiety about it. She totally gets it from me because I was that same way when I was a kid. I never went up. I sat next to my mom and cried while my sisters went up. It's ok and I still love her.
I have a long ways to go to become the mother I want to be. It really is a life long process. My kids deserve so much and I just hope that through all of my shortcomings and mistakes they know just how much I love them. They really are my world. And I am very excited to bring another child into our family for me to love on.
I truly am blessed.
