What a Happy Mommy I am!

I had thought that I would be sad today because Layla was not here to share this Mothers Day with me. I do miss her and think about her all the time but I also know that we will share so many more special days when she comes home. It is hard to focus on the sadness when there is so much happiness yet to come. I had a wonderful day with my children today and am constantly reminded how lucky I am to be their mom! The excitement of making me cards and watching me open them, picking out flowers and just watching my expression to see if I like them. It is days like today that remind me why I chose to add to my already grown family and start over again. It is because being a mom is what I love to do most. And everyday my children reward me with their smiles, laughter and the words " I love you mommy". I have been blessed.
