I always wanted to be a mother. Always.
I used to tell people I wanted to have 7 kids one day, I guess I’m not too far off!
There was just always something inside of me that knew I wanted to be a mom, I felt in my heart throughout my whole life.
When I became a mother in 2004 for the very first time, it was as if life just began. THIS is what it’s all about… that’s what I just remember thinking when they placed William in my arms.
There are moments in my life as a mother that make life worth living. They are moments I love and they are the very things that I love about being a mom.
When I walked through the door on Thursday night after being away for 3 days, I heard one of the boy’s, I don’t know who (but they’ve done this before and it just melts my heart) say, “She’s home!”
2 words.
She’s Home.
And then I heard 8 little feet pounding through the living room and then into the kitchen to greet me.
I love that I’m their SHE.
So simple, but so wonderful.
These guys…
They are MY guys.
