As the mother of two offspring, I'm feeling very appreciated today on Mother's Day. Gifts of flowers, candy, food, sentiments of love, time, and assistance feel like more than I deserve. Because it's my offspring I should be thanking for allowing me to be a mother - the greatest role in my life. I have loved being a mother. It wasn't all smiles and cotton candy either. There were some hard times, some unpopular decisions, and some sleepless nights but it was all worth it. Being a mother has been my passion since the age of 15. When I was 15 I heard my dying aunt say, "My only regret is that I never had children." That was the moment I vowed to be a mother. I admired my aunt and the adventurous life she chose for herself. I wanted what she had and children too. I am a lucky woman and I have my kids to thank for it.
