1 Year 3 months and 24 days ago I was given the greatest gift I have ever received, my sweet baby boy. Not knowing what I was getting into, not knowing the pain, joy, fear and pride that would accompany my little one I took the plunge. After a few hours of labor I finely was able to look into the eyes that I had been dreaming about ever since I was a little girl. A flood of emotion caught me by surprise as I looked into his perfect eyes. For the first time I understood what perfect love was. A simple yet overwhelming thought came to my mind that I have not yet been able to shake, “God I swear I will bring him home to you.” I finely understood that Gods love is boundless. The amount of love that I have for my baby boy still doesn’t come close to the amount that our Father in Heaven has for him. I can only imagine how difficult it would be to send away a child only to hope that they would return home again one day. Who know that this 7 pound 10 ounce bundle of joy could bring with him such an enormous responsibility? There is a woman who had enough courage to go through this same experience 10 times, my mommy. I had no idea what a mothers love was capable of until I had my own and still I don’t understand it as deeply as my mother. Not only did she have to courage to go through this 10 times she did it well. All ten are capable, successful happy, (relatively normal) individuals. Mom thank you for teaching me what was most important in this life, which in itself has done more for me than anything that you have or could have done. I want to promises you that I will work hard to get back to our loving Fathers arms and I will do everything in my power to get my children back as well, even it means going to the Temple once a month, week or day. Thank you giving me life so that I could have a chance to recieve my greatest gift. I Love You and Happy Mothers Day!
