I am so thankful on this Mother's Day :) Nearly a year ago, on the same day in June, we found out we were going to have a baby and and that my mom had cancer. I was filled with so many emotions that day. I worried that my mother would not live to see my baby. I am blessed that my baby is healthy and my mom is doing fine. I could not have asked for a better Mother's Day.

But, I was reminded this weekend that not everyone is celebrating this day. I met a young woman, just 22 years old, whose mom died 3 years ago. Her mother was 39 when she died of cancer. She promised her that she would take care of her siblings who now range in age from 12 to 18. She is a mother to these 3 kids and she is wise beyond her years. She is loving and caring. So, today I'm also thinking of her and all of those who have lost their mother's. I can only imagine the pain.

My mother always told me that I would understand her love better when I had a baby of my own and I do. Now, I get it. A mother's love is a love like no other. I just hope and pray that I can be the kind of mother that my mine is to me. Happy Mother's Day!
