When I think about Mother’s Day, I do think of my own Mom. Ours was a very complicated relationship, but in the end, there is love and for that, I am grateful.
But Mother’s Day also reminds me to thank God for the blessings in my own life that made me a Mom and an Oma (grandmother).
I have been blessed! I gave birth to two beautiful, intelligent, fun, and adventurous daughters. Amanda came first on December 20th, and the feeling of profound joy that I felt with her birth is something I can never fully explain. Looking into her tiny face, knowing that she was made from our love, was amazing!
Next came our Katie, on November 8th. What a surprise she was with her fiery, red hair and green eyes! She was a sweet, loving, child, and her loss is something I will never get over.
Time passed, Mandy grew up, and then on the 31st of May in 2012, my first granddaughter, Savannah Rose came into our world!

A beautiful, loving, talented, imaginative, girlie girl! I look into her eyes and I see pure love and my heart swells with joy. Every day, I thank God for this blessing.
And just when I thought it couldn’t get any better, on the 7th of March, 2016, my grandson, Quinn Wallace arrived!
What a handsome little dude he is! Since I had never had a son, this whole boy thing is new to me, and I am just loving it.
Thank you Lord for all the blessings in this life. For my Children and for my Grandchildren. Life is, so very good!
Your grands are so cute! I’m looking forward to joining the world of grandparenting this summer. I feel like I need a manual for a boy, but it will be fun figuring out the world of little boys, and especially watching my daughter mother a son. She will be a wonderful boy mom. Happy Mother’s Day! I know it’s bittersweet.
Hope you had a wonderful Mother’s Day in the midst of those cute grandkids!
