I celebrate Mothers Day because Iβm a Mom. I celebrate Mothers Day because my Mom gave me a life.
Hereβs the history of my story:
My mom was asked to have an abortion but she said NO. THANK god because she said no and I was born!!!!! Even though I had a hard childhood Iβm so blessed to be alive. If my mom agreed to have an abortion I would be dead. This tells me that I have a purpose to impact people, that their lives matter.
When I found out I was pregnant I said YES! I was date raped and when most people would not say yes I saw what God was gifting me. A child of my own.
Fast forward and I have said goodbye to my Motherβs body but talk to her spirit all the time. I feel blessed to have an amazing son who is growing to be an amazing human being.
The hard part: my son hurts. He doesnβt see himself like anybody else does. He says heβs a horrible person. This hurts like I cannot explain. All I can do is love him. And hope he sees how everyone else sees him and learns that his perception is warped. Everyone that knows my son says he is so amazing! This is the journey. Up and down. But the blessing is so amazing!!
I celebrate Motherβs Day as the gift that it is. I am so blessed to have 17 yrs of trying to be the best. Reason of myself for another human being. All I can do is love him. Itβs in Godβs hands.
