Thankful on this Mother's Day

There is no greater joy in the world than being a mother. Experiencing my baby's birth, watching her grow beautifully, dreaming huge dreams for her, doing my absolute best to give her a wonderful life, and shape her into a loving, caring individual - motherhood is without a doubt the best thing that has happened to me - and the most inspiring blessing in the world.

I love you, Autumn Laura! Thank you for making me the happiest, proudest mother on Earth. You are so beautiful, and smart, and are just growing so fast and learning so much every day. Not a day goes by where I don't just stop and look at you and thank God for you.

When I hug you I never want to stop. When I see you cry I wipe away your tears and try to hold back my own. When I hear you laugh, my soul is filled with joy. When you rest your head upon my chest, I want to bottle up the feeling I have and sell it to the world so everyone can be as happy as I am when you are with me. When I watch you learn and explore new things, I feel so proud of you, my little one. Motherhood is truly the greatest love of all. My child, my heart, my everything.
