The Best Job I Ever Had Is Being A Mom!

L@:]There are alot of things in this life that I have
 done. A lot of things that I have seen. The most rewarding,
heart swelling, happiest moments that are my life,
have been from my two children. Now I know what
my father meant  when would tell me that he loved
me more than life. Because,
that is how I feel about my son and daughter.
It's in the way  that you have a genuine love and
caring for each other, their happiness, interest in
their daily life, the small things and the monumental.
Wanting to know when things happen, sharing
experiences and advice.
Being there when they need you, and sometimes when
they think they don't. The times we are all together,
when we laugh until we cry, and even the smallest
moments mean so much,because,
we are all together and content with each other.
Knowing that when one has to leave, that it creates
a void in our family that can't be fixed until they
return.
We have lived with that void, when my son joined
the Marines. While he was gone to boot camp for
three months, it felt like a piece of my
heart was missing. And it was the same for his wife,
sister and his dad but, it brought us closer as a
family and when he came home for the short time
he was here,we spent every day together
and cherished each other. It has helped all of us
to become closer and be thankful for every single day
that we have together. Personally, I have known a lot
of heart breaking, life changing moments in my life
from a young age.
But, I have to say, as a mother, watching my only
son walk away, twice so far, into the unknown,
but chosen path of his life, I have never felt so
heartsick at his leaving. Even though I have the
utmost faith in him and his decisions,because he
is one of the best, brightest and most
capable people I know,
his absence leaves a void for me and our family.
Saying that, I have never been more proud and
honored to be his mother, and not just because he
is now a marine, but because I know the person he is.
I have always been his biggest fan,
even when no one else knew, and I always will be,
no matter what life brings, because I love both my
children unconditionally.
I am so happy every day that they have grown to
be the  outstanding, beautiful people I knew that
they would be.
There are not words that could describe how
happy they make me. That is the best mothers
day gift I could ever get because I get it every day
of my life.

A mothers love for her child is like nothing else in the world.
It knows no laws, no pity, it dares all things and crushes
down remorselessly all that stands in its path.
Agatha Christie
