Thank You

So it's been about 2 weeks that I have been in my new role as mother. What a strange feeling to actually say I am a mother. It's scary sometimes knowing that this little life depends on me for so many things and at the same time very humbling.
Being a mother is not the easiest job I have ever had in my life, but I know it will be the most rewarding. I know these hard times are probably in a way payback for all the grief and gray hairs I gave my mother. But I wanted to thank her. Through this process my mother has been there by my side through it all. I have a much greater appreciation for her and what she has done for me through the many years of my life. I know I gave her sleepless nights and headaches, and many many tears, and through it all she always seemed to be my biggest cheerleader and love me no matter what! Maybe it was that I was baby number 5 and by then she had all this mother stuff pretty much down, but I doubt it. I can't begin to thank my mom for all her help these past few weeks, and these past years! She is my hero and a huge strength in my life! So thank you Mom!
Thank you also to all the amazing "mothers" in my life! There have been many that have been like second mothers and ones that have shown me how to be a good mother! Thank to all my sisters and sister in laws for their amazing examples and to my amazing mother in law who makes me feel like I am and have been one her daughters!
I have been surrounded by amazing women in my life that I am now looking at as examples in my life! So a big thank you to you all, for all you do, and for all you have taught me....and the biggest THANK YOU again to the most amazing mother I could ever ask for! I am better because of her and I hope that one day I will be a great mother to my son as she has been to me and my sibling! I love you!
