To be called Mama
Today I found one of my sketchbooks and inside I found this illo! What a treat! It represents everything that makes me happy and gives me purpose. I just love the sound of those little voices calling me: "Mama!" You see, for many years my husband and I tried and tried to have babies without success. Even though we were a very happy couple I always felt this huge hole in my heart...longing for a baby! I spent 7 long years praying, crying, hoping and believing for the day when a little one would call me "Mama". I received my miracle one unexpected day! And I became the happiest being in the whole world!
Now that I have my two babies I'm grateful for each day I hug them and kiss them. I'm so honored and grateful to have them in my life and to be called their "Mama".
ps: thank you all of you girls who have been visiting my little blog and leaving such sweet and cool comments and emails! You 'all rock!
oh that's lovely to hear!
being a young woman wanting kids "one day..." but fearing all the work and time, i really needed to hear this viewpoint!
thank you!
