Mother’s Day – Sarah’s Story
We don’t always celebrate Mother’s Day with a tangible gift. Sometimes the day serves as a reminder of the blessings that Motherhood is on its own. Below, Sarah shares her story about what Motherhood had taught her.
There are so many valuable life lessons I have learned in my 8.5 years as a mother. Not only have I learned more than I ever imagined, I believe the discoveries are unique to each mother. For instance, I have realized and been touched by various
events that may not impact some mothers as they do for others. This is what I believe to be a special component of motherhood.
Mother’s Day has become even more special to me since the birth of our 22-month old heart warrior. While every day is a joy with both of my children, Mother’s Day is an extra reminder of how fortunate and blessed to have two children I learn so much from on a regular basis. I truly take no day for granted. While our journey is full of uncertainty raising a heart child, I treasure every moment.
If I had known what I may have experienced when becoming a parent prior to motherhood, I may not have ever become a mother! My life as a mother has been very eventful; both full of joys and many hardships – some of which many mothers never experience. However, some of these difficult times, such as the 
diagnosis and journey with our son’s complex heart condition have made me a better and stronger mother and person. I have since realized more so now than ever, what is important in life – what is needed and what can be lived without. Less is truly more.
Motherhood, has blessed me in more ways than I could ever describe and even more so since I became a heart mom. While the times in our journey have not always been good; they have led to where I am today and I am proud to have two loving, caring, courageous, and energetic boys who remind me what life is all about.
Each year, I look forward to Mother’s Day and am thankful I am a mother of two remarkable boys who remind me of how lucky I am, especially our little miracle child and warrior. Motherhood has helped me grow as a person and professional, for which I am so grateful.
