| Happy Mother's Day! (5/10/09) |
|
I want to wish all the mother's out there a "Happy Mother's Day!" I have always said that being a mom changed my life and even though that seems obvious, it was such a profound change that it rocked me to my core. I thought that I could never have children, so when I found out I was pregnant, I was definitely not prepared. I was not married, although I was in love but in no way in any position to have a child. I was mad at myself for getting pregnant while I was in such a flux state of being, and afraid that I would end up carrying on the tradition of the "single" mom in my family. I moved 13 times from the time I found out I was going to have a child until my son was a little over a year old. Ultimately, I did end up being a single mom for several years but the bottom line is, it does not matter what happened, I could not imagine a life without my son. If someone said to me that I could go back and do it over, without my son and the difficult things that I experienced, I would not hesitate to say no. I would not change a thing if it meant I would not be a mom.
