Although...

Although I can't hold my baby in my arms... I am still her mother.
Although I don't have a child to hug and kiss... I am still  her mother.
Although my sweet baby is in Heaven... I am still her mother.
Although my heart is broken in millions of pieces... I am still her mother.
Although I can't rock  her to sleep at night... I am still her mother.
Although my world is turned upside down right now... I am still her mother.
Although I can't see her, hear her, touch her, smell her... I am still her mother.
Although I will never see her grow up... I am still her mother.
Although I wll never hear the word "mommy" from her mouth... I am still her mother.
Although I will never receive a hand made Mother's day card... I am still her mother.
Although I spend Mother's Day without a child... I am still her mother.

Being a mother is such a special gift.  I truly believe it's the love in your heart that makes a mother.  Until my sweet Paige entered this world I had no idea I could love anything the way I love her.  It's a completley different kind of love than what I have for my husband.  My love for Paige was instant!  It was truly love at first sight.  She represents the love Pat and I have for eachother.  Paige was everything good in our world.  For me being Paige's mommy has been the best gift I have ever been given.  Although there are days when I don't feel like a mommy.  I know the love in my heart is only the kind of love a mother can have for her child.

Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful mom's in our lives.... especially Grandma and MiMi!

I love you too Paige!!!!!

Although I have already shared this video, I wanted to share it again today. Happy Mother's Day to all those mommy's who have sweet angels in Heaven.

As a mother comforts her child,

so will I comfort you;
