My Resolve to my Son

I am a mother. I am a mother to many but gave birth to only one. One little boy who I am becoming more and more fond of every day. We went ice skating last week for his first time and he had a blast. At first he was scared to go ice skating but then once he got on the ice, there was no stopping him. He did fall down a few times (photos at the bottom) but he just grabbed for me to help me back up and began skating again. It warmed my heart. For sure.

I am looking at the picture of us together from our church's fall festival and he in his Buzz Lightyear costume and me in my Peruvian maiden top...and we look quite happy together. And so I smile.

Truly, he is my angel. His existence has saved me so many times. And for this I am grateful to God for my child. I purpose in my heart to make sure that I am his biggest cheerleader. His greatest critic. His largest fan. And his parent. For the rest of our lives.

When you have children, your life changes. No longer (should it) be about your wants and needs only. It should be about what is the best for your lives. Not what is easiest for you but what would best benefit the emotional, spiritual, physical welfare of your child(ren). Doing what needs to be done...blood, sweat, AND tears.

In this new year, I resolve to be his greatest Mommy...

Blessings,
