So, I’ve
been a daughter who has loved and honored my mother for 42 years now. Nineteen years ago, Keith chose me to be
a mother to his sweet, beautiful daughter Jourdan, and then nine and twelve
years later I was blessed by God to be the mother of Rance and Ryleigh. I have to say, with all those years under my
belt, this day has never hit me in a way that it did today!!!
As I stood
in front of the mirror this morning getting ready to go out for breakfast with
my husband, I literally started sobbing.
I WANTED my kids with me (they stayed the night with their cousin). An emotion took over me that I couldn’t
control. They truly have my whole heart
and I am so thankful and blessed to be their mom!!
Today was
definitely a day of reflection for me and a reminder to never take life or
loved ones for granted!! A year and a
half ago, when I was handed the “cancer card” they were my biggest
concern!!! I know all of you other moms
out there that have faced a similar battle/challenge KNOW exactly what I’m
talking about!! The thought of leaving
your kids at a delicate, early age is so very scary!!
With that
said, my heart aches for those of you in my life that have lost your mother’s
at an early age (or any age for that matter).
There is NO greater love and no child should have to endure that kind of
pain!! I pray for strength and comfort
for you all today!!
I am thankful
for every day/ year I get to continue making sweet, precious memories with my
kids, grandbaby, husband, and family!! I
enjoyed the day with my mom, sister and our families yesterday. Today, I had a wonderful breakfast with my
husband, some P90X and pool time with my family and a wonderful homemade, seafood
dinner – yummy!!!
Love & Belief,
Dana
