#itwasMom

So another type of movement that our church wanted to put out was the #itwasmom recognition. Ovcudously I am a day late on this intended list but I had spent yesterday with my mom and just enjoyed some beautiful moments together.

My mom started off the day with a sweet text wishing me a happy Mother's Day. Later at her home she brought me outside and we shared a beautiful moment together. I just love my mom for so many reasons. She is so compassionate and caring. 

These traits were in her from day one with me. She chose to have me and try to be with my biological father because she wanted the best for me. When she discovered he did not in fact ever grow up or want this responsibility she knew what she had to do. He was more into his drugs then being a father. She divorced him and went it alone. I had a great papa and nana who helped fill in and guide me as well...but honestly it was mom who in fact gave up so much. She worked many different jobs and tried to always make sure my one brother and I were taken care of. 

She went through the worst marriages of her life because she was hopeful to have the perfect family and have two parents when all we really needed was just her. She is perfect for us. Many may have judged her and still may for how she raised us, but she is making a difference in our lives. 

So mom thank you so much for all that you have done and continue to do. Thank you for being so happy to tell people about me, my blog and my faith. This is a beautiful thing. I will always love you.
