Happy Mother's Day!

Mother's Day is finally a good day for me this year. For the past 8 years it has been a bitter sweet day. The bitter part is that my mom has been gone, and this day has just been a reminder that I do not have her anymore in this life. The sweet part is that I have Gwen. The best step-mom, mom, grandma and mother figure that a girl could as for. This is my first Mother's Day as a mother. I could never explain how happy my little boy has made me and that I am so grateful that he is here. And there is of course the wonderful man that made me a mommy. I am so thankful that I have him in my life and that we have finally started our own little family together. Ok, I am totally crying now. Kollin just gave me my Mother's Day gift: I never realized that Tanner's birthstone is the amethyst (purple). The interesting thing about this is, Kollin's birthstone is the ruby (red), and mine is sapphire (blue). Red + Blue = Purple! If you are expecting your first child, have young or old children, if you are a grandma or even if you are in Heaven. Happy Mothers Day to all of you beautiful mommies out there!
