From the moment you feel movement, you feel life growing inside along with anticipation, fear and joy. Scared of abnormalities because life will never be the same. Will you be able to cope? Will you be good at it?
For me being a mother prepared me to be able to embrace all the abnormalities of life that came around every corner when least expected. How do we cope? FAITH! Motherhood prepares you internally for all the unexpected curves. An inner strength comes from within due to raising children. Our hardest curve is when we have to let go so that our children can spread their wings and learn to fly alone. We must!
I give thanks for the privilege of being able to embrace raising my sons.. Lucky to be able to have had the strength to take a step back to watch them fall and pick themselves up and learn. As young men they are still falling and still gathering. Life is a lesson and I ask the universe to help them to learn, to forgive, show kindness, always show compassion for those less fortunate, embrace joy, and lead from their heart. With these tools they might make it.
