As I sit here at work, pumping for my sweet Gia, I want to get this out there! First, to my babies! I love you so much. It's a deep, rich love that you can feel but you might not fully know until you become parents yourself. Sometimes we make sacrifices that really aren't sacrifices at all because I wouldn't have it any other way. I love, love, love being your mom. It's all I've ever wanted to do. ( Although, since I have to work, my job is the greatest! )
Next, to my hubby. Thank you for helping me achieve mom status! I'm totally biased but I think we have the greatest kids! So fun to co-parent them with you! Thanks for having the faith when times were tough and we didn't know if we would know this joy!
To my aunties, cousins, co-workers and friends: you inspire me! I have learned it so much from each of you! I know some of these lessons I will endure and hope to recall your wisdom! I have listened to you and learned little pearls from each of you!
To my step mother Julie- thanks for your love and support! It's so nice to have another support person in our life!
To my mother in law, Lois! You raise a great son! We are so, so fortunate to have him in our lives and you as well! We are thankful to know that when the kids are with you they are well looked after and loved so much! Just wish we lived closer! Glad FaceTime fills the gap a little!
Finally to my momma! I will never be able to begin to give back what you have given me. I can only hope to be able to give so unconditionally to my kiddos as I have been taught by you. Your love and support are overwhelming and felt deeply! I love your love of our kids and feel so happy that they get to have as much time with you as they do! As I get older and have had my own kids I realize the sacrifices you made and it makes me feel so humble!
To all the mommas out there happy Mother's Day!
