From the age of 18-20 I was what you would call a "hot mess". I drank, I did drugs, I was wild and out of control and I didn't care, I was living MY life MY way! (So I thought! We were all dumb and young once, right?) I experienced the world, I lived my life! Then I lost everything and my life started spiraling downward! I was about to crash and burn and was ready to give up. Then I found out I was pregnant!
My life changed after I found out I was going to be a mom. I had to start making choices for my child and not myself. The day I found out I was pregnant was the day I had to stop being selfish and had to start being selfless. That's exactly what I did. Becoming a mother was/is the best hing to have ever happened to me.
I love my children! My girls are my world. I would not change my life for anything in this world. Some people ask me if I ever wish I had waited to have kids. My answer to that is NO!! I started having kids at the PERFECT time! Addelyn saved my life! If it wasn't for my darling, sweet, blond haired, blue eyed baby girl I wold most likely be sitting in prison next to her worthless sperm donor, living on the streets or even worse dead, that's where my life was headed!
My wonderful daughter was/is my second chance and I am thankful for that EVERY day!
Being a mom is my purpose in life! I couldn't imagine my life with out my children! I hope that every mom out there feels the same way towards their children! Being a mom meas to love unconditionally heal wounds, mend broken hearts, to protect, to encourage, to empower, to enlighten, and to be there for everything my child needs me for; that is what being a mom means to me!
What does being a mom mean to you?!
