Happy Mothers Day

Mothers Day is always a special day. I have always (since K-4) loved making special things for my mom and grandmom for Mothers Day. I get very excited about celebrating special occasions. Last Mother's Day was even better. I received roses from Brent from our Baby to Be. I could not wait to be the mother to a healthy wild active little boy! This Mother's Day was different from them all. I was FINALLY a MOM! I have been so excited about this day until it arrived. Hayden woke up early. He was in a good mood. He made me so HAPPY. We were also going to dedicate him in the church. I was such a nervous wreck full of emotions and saddness. Mother's Day had a new meaning for me. A meaning that was a very sad one. I now know the true meaning of being a MOM. I LOVE BEING A MOM. I LOVE MY CHILD. I can not imagine a Mother's Day without Hayden. I was an emotional nut case as HOPE gained a new meaning. I HOPE, PRAY, and BEG that I will get to celebrate MOTHERS DAY again with Hayden next year. I have gained so many new friends this year. The main thing my new friends and I have in common is ill children. A few of these Mothers have recently lost their children. I quickly thought of them, how empty their hearts must be on this special day? My heart was aching for these Mothers. My husband quickly reminded me that ....Tomorrow is not promised for Hayden. Tomorrow is also not promised for any of us. I finally got off of my pitty party of saddness. I ended up having the BEST MOTHERS DAY. Our child was dedicated under the same roof that Brent and I got married. He was dedicated by the same preacher that married Brent and I. We are so thankful for the small moments in life. We are so thankful for the PERFECT Mothers Day. I LOVE my Ronaldo birthstone and pearl bracelet from Hayden.  I am so happy that God chose me to take care of one of his special angels. I pray that my friends and others that are longing to be a mother get to experience this wonderful journey soon. I pray that more of my friends and family will adopt kids longing for a special home. I love being a MOM and I HOPE you do too!

For those of you who do not know me. I was a first grade teacher. I love ART! I believe in MEMORIES. I helped Hayden make my cards. They turned out perfect! I am so thankful for my cards.

The cross is our representation of his baby dedication on Mother's Day. The best gift and a dream come too!

 Hayden had a cake to celebrate dedication. We are so proud of our angel! He was posing with one of the most important ladies in the world. My Mommy! Without mom, I would not have Hayden. I thank God for you Mom!

 Without Nona, we would not have Hayden. We are so thankful for you. Without Meg, we would not have ChiChi. ChiChi is the one that can talk for Hayden. I love to watch his milestones. I wish that Hayden could talk to his Chi. Chi has been saying Lollie and B for months. His new word of the week is Hay Hay. I thank God for our precious nephew.

All we are missing is MawMaw Mrytle. Hayden with his favorites. (Until Fathers Day:))

 We enjoyed a weekend full of great memories together. I love this precious angel from heaven.

 Look, who was so Happy to wake up on Mother's Day! He was ready to shower his mommy with LOVE!

I can not wait for Brent to experience Father's Day next month! We will make it extra special just as he made Mother's Day!
