I was married for 7 years before my husband and I adopted our only child, our son, who is now 29 and a father now too. I think I was supposed to learn patience from waiting 7 years but....well, still learning.

It was a very hard day for me, without my Jonathan's voice in my ear or his arms around me for a good hug. Being a mom to an angel is a hard job - but I got thru the day with tears and hugs from family members. God called me to be a mother - now he is calling me to redefine my life and look ahead to a different future. Definitly not what I pictured it to me! <br /><br />God Bless you and your sweet family! Happy Belated Mothers Day!<br /><br />xxoo - DianeDianeTaylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05302878458733208960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7042178429812658517.post-82065040292325931292012-05-15T08:17:53.014-05:002012-05-15T08:17:53.014-05:00Such a great reminder...

There were many Mother's Days filled with sadness for me so I have compassion for women who face this day with broken hearts. Now I am privileged to be the mama of two boys. I have often said they are God's way of sanctifying me. :) Love them to pieces...but they sure can bring out the best and worst parts of me!Immeasurably More Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06143093394307413930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7042178429812658517.post-251180990697025752012-05-14T21:06:28.115-05:002012-05-14T21:06:28.115-05:00I really needed to hear that today.

I would have been about 6 weeks from my due date, but, sadly, I had a miscarriage back in the fall. As we celebrated my mom and mother-in-law yesterday, I couldn't help but feel sad that we weren't celebrating my "mom-to-be" status too. <br /><br />I guess it will just make me appreciate and love that little guy/girl when the time is right. In God's time. :)Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05393473756566705625noreply@blogger.com
