A great work

I am so very blessed to have the mom I have. She will always be apart of who I am. Certain things I do are because of her. Parts of my testimony have been established because of her. She is the most loving and generous woman out there. She has taught me more then I deserve. I am grateful for her and for her service to me in raising me. I am grateful for her testimony and the strength she shows through tough times. I am a better person because of her. She will always be my mom and for that I am eternally blessed.
I am also very blessed to have the mother-in-law that I have. She loves me unconditionally. She is always caring for me as if I am her own child. She would do anything for me.  She hasn't been in my life that long but the time she has she has taught me a great deal. I am grateful for her example and for raising such a valiant, hardworking, loving boy. I am eternally in debt to her for giving me such an honorable man. I know he is the man he is today because of her.
I am also very blessed today because I am a mom. It has been a day of full emotions for me. As I sit and think back on the past year watching my little boy grow it amazes me. I sit here today in awe. In awe that Heavenly Father would send such a sweet perfect little boy to not perfect little me. The trust He has. I am grateful for the great honor of being a mother, I am truly blessed. It is a great joy.
I couldn't help but feel not worthy of such a day as this, as I see several people around me struggling with the loss of a child, or not being able to bare a child. I do not fully understand the pain they must be feeling on this day. But to them I am grateful for the strength they carry. I am grateful for the examples of these women. For their courage to keep facing each day.
Thank you to all the great women in my life who have strengthened, lifted, taught, and raised me! I only hope I can pass on to my children and people in my life the great lessons I have learned from you.
