A wrote a post on my Facebook about Mother’s. Mother’s come in all shapes and sizes. I don’t have children of my own. I have 3 step children that are amazing adults now. The oldest recently had his first child. A guess that makes me a grandma. Even though those children were not mine by blood I loved them so much. They moved away with their mom when they were still young but I stayed connected with them and two of them are in my life now.
I do respite care for a boy that one known since he was 2 and a half and I tell people that he’s the child I never had. I love him so much and he’s still in my life. He’s an amazing boy that I’ve written about before in my blogs. I got to spend the evening before Mother’s Day with him. Every time I’m around him he brings such joy to my heart. He feels the exact same way about me. I’ve been there and seen so many of his milestones.
There are many children at my school that I mentor and they still come and hug me out in the playground. I love my job at school it’s so rewarding and yes it can be tough as well but God has given me a gift to reach those that are hard to reach or just need someone to let them know how great they are or how proud of them you are. Those words are powerful.
I’ve been so blessed to have so many children around me my entire life. I wouldn’t change that for anything. It’s been the greatest gift.
Beauty from Ashes.
