Mother's Day Reflections

IMG-6318.jpg

Mother’s Day is a day of joy but also a day of reflection. There is great joy in spending time with your children and reflection about Mother’s days with those who have passed.  I have been very fortunate to follow a line of nurturing loving women. I understand now more than ever, that in our imperfection as mothers the love we seed in our families from the first moment we become mothers helps us through the difficult times and brings us back to where we started, unconditional love. On this Mother’s Day I see my role with my young adult children changing. I am no longer a “caregiver” or “fixer” but instead, will always be their champion and greatest supporter. I cheer them on and try not to make judgements. I am incredibly proud to see them find their way in the world but most of all, to know that they are beautiful human beings. No matter what else I accomplish in this life, there is no question that being their mom is my greatest honor.
