I Am a Mother Because of You...

 Sweet Everdeen, you made me a mama. 

From the moment your little heart started to beat inside of me I have dreamed about the kind of mother I would be. Everyday I am so thankful for you...for this life I was trusted to take care of, teach, nurture, and love. You are part of me and I am part of you.

And to my own mama...on my first Mother's Day I can now understand better the love you have for me.  I am so so thankful for everything you do for me and my family...I wish I could find the words to explain how grateful I am.  I would not be who I am today without your love, gentle guidance, and support.  I love you so much!

And to all the mother's out there...Happy Mother's Day!

Everdeen Kate: Most days I find you next to your basket of books quietly flipping through the colorful pages by yourself. You don't notice anything else around you...except maybe your mama balancing on the edge of the couch trying to capture your picture ;)
