Mother's Day

It's a well known fact Mother's Day has always been hard for me.  I will admit this year was much easier.  I would still get anxiety every time someone would bring up Mother's Day, then I would remember I was a mom now.  I think it's hard to throw away feelings you've had for years and years.  I thought this year would be tear free, but it wasn't.  I was pretty much a blubbering mess through all of sacrament and then again during my lesson. I thought the bishop was going to call me in to see if I was okay.  He didn't for the record.

But man....

I cried...

I cried for Em's birth mom and the extreme love I have for her.  She made me a mom.  Words just can't explain.
I cried for Em's birth family.  They made so many sacrifices for our little girl.
I cried for all those who are still waiting to be moms.  
I cried appreciation to our Heavenly Father that I am a mom.   

So there's always next year to try again for a dry faced Mother's Day, right?

and, What's a Mom Post without thanking my mom and mother in law..  I know they have cried many tears for me over the years.
