I was recently tagged by Only Onedia to write a post about 5 reasons why I love being a mother.
Jennifer's daughter Grace
Reason #2: The chance to experience being a mother in law and having 2 very gracious son in laws that I know cherish our daughters.
Jennifer's husband Joey
Reason #3: Being called "grandma" (by the grandchildren) just melts my heart. Anyone else . . . don't go there.
Reason #4: I learn so much from both of our daughters. I admire how they do the things at their age that I did at my age and make it appear effortless and are able to accomplish so much more than I ever did. How did they get so darn good at everything?
Reason #5: Still being married to their father today and for me to have been able to legally adopt my 2 lovely daughters.
You see, over 25 years ago, and just a couple months after I met their father, I was very blessed to have these two precious girls look up at me with their sweet little faces and ask me if they could call me "mom." What a gift they gave me that day.
Reason #1: Being forever a part of a family unit of 4 that has expanded over the years to include several grandchildren, a couple of which remind us of our daughters all over again. Time passed so fast when they were still at home, that it is a special treat to watch it unfold again through the eyes of a grandmother.

How lovely. Since my husband gained an instant family when we married, I know the joy of having a new parent loved and cherished. Your post is sweet (not in a sticky way) and charming. Thanks for sharing.
I've tried leaving a comment since reading this yesterday but I get so emotional so I will simply say...I love you so much and we are so blessed you came into our lives and not only allowed us but became our Mom....
