Happy Mother's Day

So many people have been wishing me a Happy First Mother's Day and I have to say, every day is mother's day for me now. Everyday I feel so grateful to have been given such an incredible gift. There was always a hole in my heart and pervading sadness over my life before. Holidays brought it up all the more because I wouldn't be busy working and would have more time to think about the huge lack I felt without a child. That hole has not only been filled in, but there is a garden growing there and my heart is in full bloom. You would think after 25 years of waiting that my expectations would have been too high, but they were no where near high enough. I never could have imagined the depths of the love and joy I feel being with my daughter. Those of you still waiting, you are already mommies...you are pregnant with a promise. Although it is so hard to wait, just know that you will have day after unfolding days stretching in front of you to enjoy your child.
