Today is Mother's Day. I've thought alot about what it really means to be a MOTHER. I've decided that the most important feature mother's must make sure they have is TIME.
that's right...time. so many moms these days seem to be in a hurry. & lots of times we have to be, but when i say TIME i mean seriously devoting your time & effort to the children you brought into this world. the most important gift you can give to your child is your time.
we are not guaranteed a certain # of days here on this earth. you never know when someone's day will be their last...cherish each & every moment spent w/ your child. be a MOTHER, be creative, be young-minded...that's all a child truly wants & needs. children are simple & our TIME is worth more than anything money could ever buy.
jocelyn having angelman syndrome has really put life in perspective for me. we can get so wrapped up in extracurricular activities, sports, church callings, our TV programs, work, spending time w/ friends & extended family that we almost forget the people living right within our own walls need more TIME with mom or dad. life passes by too fast & it's easy to let the small things slip away. i have learned from jocelyn that i don't need to buy her one thing, all she wants from me is TIME. i am grateful that i can give that to my children...my time. you can never get yesterday back, so today tell your children how much you love them & hug them a little bit longer...spend more TIME with them.
i hope every mom out there has a wonderful day today & gets to spend their special day with their loved ones...HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY BEAUTIFUL MOMS!!!
