Today I am very grateful to be a mother. A mother to 3 HEALTHY, mostly happy, children. I think of all those women out there that struggle with either getting pregnant, having healthy children, or mothers that die way too young.
Most mothers days I wake up expecting to be catered to and have everything perfect for my mothers day. This one is different for me. This year I am just happy to be here with my family. Grateful to see their little faces. Happy for their beautiful cards they picked out and ones they made me from school. Enjoying their kisses and extra special hugs.
Some days are rough, I won't lie! BUT I am SO lucky to be a mother and I hope I can continue to be thankful everyday for the gifts I have been given.

Yes, we are all very blessed to have healthy children. They are a lot of work. We wouldn't trade them for anyone. The stories you included were sad ones; it's wonderful to have the gospel and an eternal perspective on maintaining our family relationships. Thank you for being a wonderful mother to those three dear ones. We hope your day was special. Counting blessings seems to fill the void sometimes.
Love,
Mike and Susan
