Today is Mother's Day.
And it is one of the most honorable days I know.
Being a mom is incredible. Worth every second of the wait. These two boys rock my world like no others could do. And I just want to cry every time I think about how lucky I am. I know every mom thinks this, but HONESTLY. My boys are the most amazing little people ever.
Today I find myself thinking about last Mother's Day. My boys were born already, and I didn't know it. I'd hoped it, and thought about it, but I didn't know it. And I didn't know they were twins. Or boys.
Or perfect.
And on that Mother's Day another mother was holding those boys.
Their first mother.
Their biological mother.
And although they do not have Mother's Day in Ethiopia, I know she felt the same way I do. That they are the most amazing miracles. That they are precious. And beautiful. And as their mother, she would love them forever. And every moment of every day, she would do everything she could do to make sure they were okay.
And my heart breaks for her. Because while she got to bring them into this world, look into their eyes for the first time, and hear their sweet newborn baby coos, she doesn't get to see what I get to see every day.
She doesn't get to see them walk. Or hear their first word. Or teach them to ride a bike one day.
I get to do those things. Because I'm their mommy too. And while I'm so thankful that I get to do those things, and I get to love these boys every day of my life, my heart hurts for her. And I think about her. Especially today. And I wish I could hug her and let her know that she'll always hold a special place in our family.
Because she and I share something so special. So sacred. So amazing.
Love for these two boys.
Kingston Paulos and Kyrie Weldemichael. My loves. My heart. My everything. And half a world away, I know I'm not the only one who feels that way.
