These two girls--they are so special to me. I know I'm their mom and that it's my job to teach them about life, but they have taught me and given me so much more than I will ever be able to give them.
Braelyn. She taught me about love and forgiveness. When I held her for the first time, I felt so close to heaven. I felt love, joy, peace, and comfort in a way that I had never felt before, and I know now it was coming from my Heavenly Father. Through raising her these last 3 1/2 years, I have felt forgiveness for myself, and for others I had been angry with. Becoming her mom made that possible, because having her showed me the bigger picture. She made me a mom, and changed me in ways I might have never done on my own.
My love for you is deep, babe.
Evelyn. Oh Evie. What have you done to me. Having a second child--especially another daughter--has continued to remind me of what I'm here for, and what I want to be here for. I want to be a mom. It's as simple as that. With Braelyn I wanted that too, but not as bad as I do now. Evie has lit a fire within me-- a desire to be my best self. Every day I have more of a drive to be better spiritually, financially, physically, emotionally--everything. I am working harder than ever before to have the things I want for me and for my family. The name Evie means "life" and she has truly brought me back to life.
I'm so in love with this girl.
And then on top of all that, I've got my own Mom. Who shows me everyday how to love unconditionally. I love watching her be a Grandma to my girls, it reminds me just how lucky I am to call her "Mom."
Happy Mother's Day!
