Yesterday was likely the last Mother's Day I will have with all of my kids for a very very long time....it's definitely bittersweet. Watching your kids grow up and do great things is absolutely what you want to happen. But it also tears at those heartstrings. Motherhood is the greatest gift this life brings. It's the greatest honor, privilege, and blessing. The things that are the hardest, bring the most joy. I remember a friend once saying that motherhood is the closest we can come to being like our Savior. We clothe the naked, feed the hungry, and administer to the sick and afflicted. We nurture, we love, we succor. We have pain, heartache, and disappointment, we unconditionally love. We learn patience and long-suffering. I am not where I want to be in my Savior's eyes. However, being a mother has helped me become closer to Him as I strive to be more like Him.
