For those still waiting…

I would like to acknowledge my friends who are still waiting for their children and going through yet another Mother’s Day with empty arms.  It’s so difficult to get through this day with just the dream of what’s to come.  It feels like there’s a big empty spot in your heart and a lump in your throat as you watch friends and family with children enjoying the day.  My heart goes out to you all and I’m thinking of you today.  Believe me when I say that the waiting makes it all the more sweeter when your day finally comes, and it WILL come!   

For those of you lucky enough to have your sweeties at home, Happy Mother’s Day to you! 

When I woke up today I was greeted  by my sweetie with a great big smile on her face wishing me Happy Mother’s Day.  She just melts my heart.  She gave me this adorable bookmark she make in preschool…

along with a card and framed picture of the two of us.  The frame was painted and decorated at school.  I thanked her and held her tight thinking of just how lucky I am. 

Joe also gave me this beautiful necklace and I LOVE it!
