I came into motherhood, by most standards, late in the game. I was in my mid 30's about when I became a mother. Eva changed my life, my mindset and my desires. I truly believe she led the way for her siblings to come into our family, for me to love them in the manner in which I do. However, I do also feel that I got to mother long before these children of mine came along.
I was an aunt for 24 years before I was ever a mother, my nephews and nieces were a preclude to the love I feel for my own children. I have seen my nephews and nieces in there successes and unfortunately in their failures. I have rejoiced with them and cried for them. Some of these feelings surprised and scared me, I thought, "if I feel this way, how do their mother's feel!"
Motherhood is love, its sacrifice, I believe young teachers even feel these things before they have children of their own.
I'm grateful for the opportunity to serve in this calling of Mother. I never knew if I would get to be a mother, frankly I never really planned on it, but it came at the perfect time for me. I would do anything for my children, but I do take my job seriously enough not to endanger their growth by playing a blind eye either. Saying this is a tough job, is an understatement!
Our newest member of the family hit a milestone again, Baby Mia is 6 months old! Time certainly is not kind and it waits for no one! It seems like just yesterday we found out we were pregnant and here Baby Mia is 6 months away from being 1year old!!!!
