Today was my first MOTHER'S DAY without my three darling daughters by my side. As I walked to church hand in hand with John, I took a moment to reflect on my greatest joys....Stephanie, Vanessa & Briana.
As a young wife thinking about children, I had always imagined having ALL BOYS...don't ask me why...I guess I just figured I was kind of a "tomboy". So, you can imagine my shock and apprehension when I started off with IDENTICAL TWIN GIRLS! It didn't take long for them to completely win me over and wrap themselves around my heart. Four years later, the doctor said..."you're having a boy!" John was pretty excited, but secretly I was worried about the whole boy thing. When Briana came out a GIRL, again I was shocked but this time my heart sang for joy...another girl...yet completely different than her sisters and full of energy and personality!
It wasn't until my girls left home that I realized we really were BEST FRIENDS before we came to earth. I love them with all my heart.
Mother's Day for me is EVERYDAY!
