The month of May brings so many things, flowers, warmer weather, better moods (due to the warmer weather, ya'll know I'm right ;)), Mother's Day, etc. For about 10 years of my life I would have been OK with just ripping the entire month of May out of the calendar and just pass it by, skipping right to June. All because of Mother's Day. As pretty much all you guys know I lost my Mom in 2002. A tragic event for a 17 year old. For several years after there were 3 days each year that I just found myself unable to function. I wouldn't go to school, I wouldn't work, nothing! One of the days being Mother's Day. I absolutely HATED the thoughts of it. I was jealous, bitter, and just eeehh when it came to anything to do with moms, I wanted NOTHING to do with ANY of it.
Almost 2 years ago God blessed me with a little "attitude adjustment"-Miss. Ava Ruth. The way I feel about Mother's Day now is a total 180 degree turn around. I am a Moma now, my attitude is just totally different. It's amazing how a baby can change you.
I'm not saying there's not still an emptiness in my heart, that there's no pain, it's just easier to cope with now. Soooo, with this change of heart, I guess we can leave the calendar alone and not skip any months :). I'm so thankful that God gives us what we need when we need it and blessing us the way he does.
Mother's Day 2013
So to all you Mommies out there I hope you have a very blessed Mother's Day...
