My Favorite Moments of Motherhood

It’s no secret how much I adore Jax. Being his mother is the best thing I have ever done. It is also the most stressful, scary, surprising, and difficult thing I have ever done. Honestly, it’s easy to get lost in the details sometimes. I’m busy making doctors appointments and scheduling surgeries and MRIs, filling out mountains of paperwork, looking for ideas and toys to help with his therapy plans, wondering and worrying about what’s coming next…

But then, I look at my bright little boy bouncing around the room singing his favorite songs and I know that everything is worth it. Everything will be ok…even if it’s not.

To everyone who has a mother’s heart (whether your children are  a twinkle in your eye, are here on Earth or in Heaven, are from another mother, have 2 or 4 legs, or are in the hospital or at home), and to everyone who is missing their mom or wishes they were a mom, Happy Mother’s Day.
