Happy Mother's Day!

Well its been forever since I last wrote - tons of new experiences have been had and many more planned for the up coming months. I would first like to say how lucky I am to have my mother in my life, she is so wonderful. I called her today to wish her a happy mother's day and we chatted a bit via web cam and she read book after book to a very enthralled granddaughter for more than twenty minutes, my mom is so dedicated to my kids, I couldn't be happier for them. She is there for me and is my shoulder to cry on and my friend to laugh with, I really love her. Im also grateful for my Stepmom! She is funny and extremely kind and very very smart. I love to watch her with Brenna, I genuinly treasure the relationship we have. Im also very lucky to have my grandmothers, My Grandma Julie, who has taught me a thing or two about love, kindness, and spiritual integrity. And my Great-Grandma, who just last week celebrated her 94th birthday. She is absolutely amazing! She loves to read, like I do, enjoys her independence, and fiercely loves all of us. when you are with her she makes you feel like you are the most loved person in the world, I hope to leave a legacy like she has built someday. Im also lucky to have Lew as my Grandma, she is witty and has accepted my sister and I so wholey, Im so glad we get to keep her!
Today was the first Mother's day of a close friend of mine, her and her husband recently adopted the most wonderful 10 year old boy, after being married with out children for 14 years. It has been an extremely long road to get to this point but you can tell just by looking at her face that it was so worth it. It has been amazing to watch the transformation in my friend, she is so happy and she just radiates it like the sun. Motherhood is one of the most amazing experiences a woman can have, no love is stronger than that of a mother's for her child, as I have been so fortunate to experience everyday.
