First about my mom....
I love my mom so much. She has always been a great example to me. I'm really lucky to have had her as my mom. Since I have had kids, my appreciation has grown so much for her. I don't know how she raised three kids under the age of 3. I'm truly amazed and thankful that she did it. I remember her playing with us as we were little kids. She would dance around with us, sing us songs, and read books with us. As we got older, she became a great friend. I have had so many fun conversations with her, and have been able to confide in her about many things. I LOve my mom. She is so wonderful.
About Romar's mom....
I'm so lucky to have her as a mother-in-law! She has done so much for Romar and I . Romar has told me so many stories about his childhood, and I know that she was an amazing for Romar and his siblings. I know she loves her kids so much. I know because of her actions. She really amazes me with her patience. She is a very graceful woman. Love you Karen! We appreciate all that you do for us!
This is my fourth time celebrating Mother's Day as a mother...
I can't believe this. I can't believe two little girls call me mommy. I know they love me, and I love them. The unconditional love is a two-way channel with mothers and small children. I sometimes get mad at Kayla, or both Kayla and Eva are being naughty, but LOVE is still there. I've experienced the forgive and forget with them many times. I mean Kayla and Eva forgiving me...
I remember holding Kayla for the first time in the hospital. This wave of emotion came over me, knowing, just knowing that she was mine. She was mine forever. I felt it too with Eva. I loved them, I loved them when I found out that they were on their way, and I somehow loved them even more when I saw them for the first time.
I think the real appreciation began for my mom when I had my own baby. After being a mom for a few short months, I wondered how my mom raised three small children. How did she survive, how did we survive. Being a mom, the job never ends. I can say that I have experienced the hardest moments in my life AFTER I became a mom. On the other side, I have never experienced so much happiness with the most simple things that my kids do. It's amazing how with every first thing they learn, or do, you freak out with excitement. I will never forget when Kayla waved to me for the first time, or when Eva laughed. Every "first" is precious. Being a mother is a wild emotional roller coaster. Well. At Least it is for me. But I LOVE it! I LOVE you Kayla and Eva, thanks for making me "mommy."
