My inspiration for this post came from my dear, longtime blogging friend, Debbie @ Musings by an ND Domer's Mom, who is not only a gifted...
I’ve always felt very blessed with two mothers.My biological mother passed away at the age of 40, when I was 5 years old. She left behind a husband and three young children.
About two years later, my father met and started dating a very special woman, who eventually became my second mother.
I’ve never referred to her as a stepmother, because I always felt, that because she literally raised us…she was my mother.
Technically, she may be a stepmother, but emotionally and spiritually, she just naturally became the “special bond” that mothers are.
For me, it was her love and unyielding devotion, to throw herself completing into our lives, that makes her my mother.
Having a second mother has allowed me to see, that the vocation of being a mother, does not always come out of giving birth.
It comes out of a woman’s desire…to give life.
Happy Mother’s Day Everyone!
