It is impossible to come up with the right words to express what being a Mom really means to me.  I try, but nothing seems to do it the proper justice.  The day Maya came into my life my heart grew in a way I couldn’t even have imagined possible.  I looked down at this tiny little being and knew without a shred of doubt that I was already madly in love with her and that she was my heart.   Hearing her call me “Mommy” is the best gift I could ask for.

Today, on this day to celebrate Moms, I think about the Moms in my life that have shaped me and guided me and helped me become the type of Mom I can be proud of, the type of Mom that my daughter deserves.  I think about my own Mum who means the world to me and who has always shown me what it is to be a good, loving, kind mother.  I think about my Mother-in-law who raised 3 wonderful boys, one of whom I am honored to call my husband. I think about my Nana and Gramma, and my Aunt.  I think about the mommy friends in my life who inspire me.

Today is your day, every mom out there.  Enjoy it!!  Today is my day to celebrate and reflect on the joy that I feel in having a little person in my life call me “Mommy”, there truly is nothing better than that.

Happy Mother’s Day to all you moms out there.  You are amazing.
