Mother's Day

A year ago on Mother's Day, we went out of town because I have struggled with Mother's Day for the past 4 years. Charlie does a phenomenal job of making it special for me! Thank you hugsband! Last year I remember a particular voicemail from Nanna that I will never forget. It went like this.

"Happy Mother's Day baby! You might not have a baby yet, but you're a Mama already because you have a mother's heart. I can't wait until you get that baby! I love you!"

I can't help but boo hoo as I type this and remember that message from Nanna. Nanna is celebrating Mother's Day in Heaven this year with her Mama and our Jesus! I'm so thankful that she's not in pain anymore, but I want to call her so badly and tell her Happy Mother's Day and hear her love and encouragement again. I know that when we are matched with our precious miracle, Nanna will be hootin' and hollerin' up there!

Last Mother's Day my mama also made it special for me. Actually she has every year since we've began our journey to a Little Leonard. I'm so very blessed with a Mama who is all around amazing. I love her to pieces, and I can't wait to watch her spoiled her next grandbaby rotten! Thankfully, I'll get to spend the day with Mama. I am VERY blessed!!!

My best friend Jen also makes Mother's Day special for me as well. She's just thoughtful like that. Last year she sent flowers to school, and I blubbered for the rest of the day! Yesterday there was a precious card on my pillow! Again I boo hooed, and I'm pretty sure it made my mama cry too. :) I am so blessed to have Jen in my life!

There are many others who are uplifting as well, and for that I'm so very grateful! I love how God shows Himself to me over and over again through His people! As Tommy would say, "God is good ALL the time! ALL the time, God is good!"

Happy Mother's Day to all you adoptive Mama's to be, Adoptive grandmama's, and birthmama's!
