There are mothers that hold you tight when you are sad, cheer for you when you are happy, that care for that cut or that listen patiently to your joys and sorrows. There are mothers that play and those that teach. There are mothers that stay up late till the sun rises just to make one feel safe. And there are those that give you advice. There are mothers that have been mothers for oh-so-many years. And mothers that just began their journey.
To all those mothers new and old, that have touched my life in so many ways- I thank you. I thank my mami for being everything a mother should be (and more). For loving me unconditionally and guiding me patiently; To family and old friend mamas, I thank you for being part of my youth and guiding me to be the person that I am now. For continuing in my journey as I became a mother myself and for continuing to guide me with patience, understanding and above all love. Thank you; To my newest mama friends, thank you for being part of my-every-day life. For sharing with me your joys and sorrows of motherhood. Without you I would go crazy and think I was the worst mother in the world- but you make it okay. We are human- we are mamas. Thank you. Thank you; To all my lovely blogger mama friends- through your words and actions you inspire me everyday; And above all to God- for giving me the gift of motherhood. I am oh-so-very grateful to be a mom of the two loveliest most caring and loving silly munchkins in the world. They inspire me to be a better person (mother) every day. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you!

Hay madres que te abrazan cuando estas triste, madres que te echan porras cuando estas contenta, o curan tus heridas y escuchan con paciencia tus historias. Hay madres que juegan, hay madres que enseñan. Hay madres que se quedan despiertas hasta el amanecer para hacerte sentir segura. Hay madres que te aconsejan. Madres que han sido madres por muchos años y otras que solo empiezan su jornada.
A todas esas madres nuevas y viejitas quienes han tocado mi vida- les doy gracias. Le doy gracias a mi Mami linda por ser todo lo que una madre debe ser (y mas). Por quererme incondicionalmente y por guiarme con paciencia; A las mamas en mi familia y amigas de juventud (que son mamas), gracias por haber tomado parte en mi juventud y ayudado a formar quien soy hoy. Por seguir mi jornada como madre y seguir guiándome con paciencia y comprensión y mas que nada, amor; Gracias a mis mas nuevas amigas mamas. Gracias por ser parte de mi vida cotidiana. Por compartir con migo las aventuras de ser madre. Sin ustedes me volvería loca y me creería la pero madre del mundo- pero ustedes me recuerdan que todo es normal. Que somos humanas- somos mamas. Gracias; A mis lindas amigas blogueras, gracias por inspirarme cada día por medio de sus palabras y acciones; Y por ultimo a Dios por darme la oportunidad de ser madre de los dos nenes mas lindos y cariñosos del mundo. Me inspiran a ser mejor cada día. Gracias. Gracias. ¡Gracias!
Beautiful collages!
