Before I was a Mom, I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby. I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous. I never thought about immunizations.
Before I was a Mom, I had never been puked on. Pooped on. Chewed on. Peed on. I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts. I slept all night.
Before I was a Mom, I never held down a screaming child so doctors could do tests. Or give shots. I never looked into teary eyes and cried. I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin. I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep.
Before I was a Mom, I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put him down. I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt. I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much. I never knew that I could love someone so much. I never knew I would love being a Mom.
Before I was a Mom, I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body.. I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby. I didn't know that bond between a mother and her child. I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important and happy.
Before I was a Mom, I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay. I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, the wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom. I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much, before I was a Mom.... Thank God He blessed me to be a mom with my wonderful precious children..
I’ve had so many titles in life; daughter, granddaughter, niece, cousin, friend and wife but I must say the one title I am most proud to have is “mom”! This little guy is my world, I couldn’t imagine life without him.

Marcus, when you are old enough to read this I want you to know that you are the greatest gift Mommy has ever received, your my reason for living! I love you son, it is such an honor to be your mom!
As for my mom, Marcus couldn't have been blessed with a better grandma, he absolutely adores you. Thank you for having such a huge part in our life, we love you! Happy Mothers day!
Grandma, you have to be one of the strongest women I have ever known in life! I admire so much about you but the love you have for our family has to be the one thing I admire/love and cherish the most. Thank you for being you! Happy Mothers Day!
After my mom, grandma and aunties I would have to say my favorite mom would be this girl:
Kathleen, you have been such an amazing friend to me this last year. I have no idea what I would have done without you. Not only are you an amazing friend but your a wonderful Mom! Ava and bebe are so very lucky to have you as their mommy! Happy Mothers Day darling!
