You Were Given This Life....

I was reading about a new mom whose son was born with Down Syndrome. Just like I asked when I went through my pity party, she asked herself "why me?"

When I read that question, it reminded me of all the feelings I went through when we found out. The mourning, the fear, the uncertainty.

It is kind of funny how the mind works because without trying to come up with an answer, the words "thank you for letting it be me" popped into my head. I couldn't help but smile at myself.

Before Cody was born, I constantly questioned whether or not I was ready to properly parent him. My little aha moment reminded me that who cares if I'm ready or if I ever will be, I'm just happy it's me that gets to be his mom.

I saw this on Pinterest this morning and it fit perfectly with my thoughts today.



Have a great week my friends and find peace in the life you live. :)
