Belated Mother's Day Post

Happy Belated Mother's Day to all you moms out there. I want to start by saying thank you to everyone who was thinking of me on Sunday. I can't believe that there are even customers of Starbucks that were thinking of my family on Mother's Day. People I've never met. I pray that our story is touching their life somehow. That we are the emanating the light & love of God.

I am so blessed to be the mom of Kylie May & Layla Faith. We had a perfect day on Sunday. I got a beautiful necklace with the birthstones of my girls, cards and a surprise picnic. We ended the day with s'mores at Bryan's parents. I am lucky to be able to be a mom to Kylie every day. It reminds how precious my time was with Layla.

Last year, on Mother's Day, we told Bryan's parents that we were pregnant (with Layla). I carried her for 34 weeks. I am so happy & proud that I was able to be her mom for so long. I don't regret any of my decisions. She had my heart from the day we found out we were pregnant. Through the day we had a 'threatened miscarriage' to the day we learned of her diagnosis. We held her warm body in our arms while she breathed her last breathes.

I heard this song on the radio on Mother's Day. There's no one way to describe the feeling and the honor of being a mom. Kylie & Layla have all of me.

Afraid to love, something that could break. 
Could I move on, if you were torn away?
And I'm so close, to what I can't control.
I can't give you half of my heart, 
and pray He makes you whole. 

You're gonna have all of me. 
You're gonna have all of me. 
'Cuz you're worth every falling tear. 
You're worth facing any fear. 
You're gonna have all my love. 
Even if it's not enough,
to mend our broken hearts. 
But giving you all of me, is where I'll start. 

I won't let sadness steal you from my arms. 
I won't let pain keep you from my heart. 
I'll trade the fear of all that I could lose. 
For every moment I share with you. 

Heaven brought you to this moment, it's too wonderful to speak. 
You're worth all of me, you're worth all of me. 
So let me recklessly love you, even if I bleed.
You're worth all of me, you're worth all of me.

What a beautiful song and wonderful way to remember Layla! We loved having s'mores and a crackling fire with all of you to top off the day. You're a beautiful woman, mother and daughter, and deserve happiness in your life.
