Sometimes, during the business of life, the needs of children and a husband, I forget who I am. It's not hard to do. I'm so busy with laundry, helping with homework, daily chores that keep my days filled and 2 endlessly busy children. I am thankful for them. They are the heartbeat of my life. Today, I felt myself once again overwhelmed by the constant need and business of my daughter. Whoever said girls were easier lied. She is NOT easy. She constantly climbs. She's a mess. In her path of curiosity, she leaves chaos in her wake. Today, I forgot who I was. I used to know. Today, I was reminded. Little arms reached for me and claimed "Momma, Wickie needs you". Today, I am needed. I am loved. I AM love. I am the gentle hands that hug boo-boos, wipe away tears and guide her along her path. It doesn't matter who or what I wanted to be. I am a Mother. There is no greater thing than that.  I am also a daughter, a wife, a sister, an aunt, a best friend. I am so much more than I realize. I am blessed and I am grateful.
