This was my first ever Mother's Day, the first year I got to celebrate being a mother while also showing my love to the mothers in my life. This year has been a bittersweet Mother's Day, because more than ever, I am so mindful of the friends and family this year that have struggled to become mothers. I can not pretend to understand what they have gone through, but I have prayed and hurt with them as several people close to me have been caught in such a tough place. I am so thankful that several of them have recently given birth, adopted, or become pregnant, and I praise God for that. I do firmly believe that being a Mom is the greatest gift of all, but I also know that there is not just one way of becoming a Mommy. Thank you, God, for allowing me this opportunity. And let me continually strive to be a good mom for Evelyn, following in the wonderful footsteps of my own mother and grandmothers.
Father's Day was also very sweet. For me, it's absolutely awesome to see the man who you married to transition into the most wonderful daddy. Brandon is so smitten with Evelyn, and nothing gives me more joy than to see how much she loves him. I feel so blessed knowing that Evelyn has such a great daddy to learn from. I mean, not every kid gets a daddy as fun and sweet as Brandon Craddock:)
