Mother's Day

Alisha says: I woke up with a smile on my face and a little extra spring in my step because finally I got to be celebrate mother's day as a mother. As great as it felt I also reflected on previous mother's day where I felt inadequate and hurt because I wanted to be mother and wasn't. I thought of all those who are currently longing for a little one and what if anything I could say to them. A friend from high school wrote a great post that really summarized everything I was feeling. She basically says that to anyone who longs to be a mother but isn't that it sucks and you are being ripped off. I totally agree.

I am so so very thankful for our little Skye. Having her is even better that I thought it would be and just when I think I can't possibly love her any more she smiles or giggles or does something else adorable and then I realize that I do.

And one of my mother and I. I love having her come visit so often.
