Being a mother through the years everyone warns you or tries to prepare you for the different stages that motherhood will bring. The newborn stage, the terrible 2s, the toddler years, the teenage years, etc… BUT the one stage no one prepares you for is the stage of being a mom to adult children. The many curves and turns that are thrown your way during this time can be very challenging. For example, today is Thanksgiving, every other year before this one it has been my family of 5 enjoying Thanksgiving day together, but today was different. My oldest is married and lives in a different state and my middle child spent Thanksgiving with his new girlfriends family. So today it was just my husband, me and our 6 year old celebrating Thanksgiving. As I went about the day it was as if my mind was grieving the past, but so thankful that my older boys are living their lives. Was it hard, YES!, but at the end of this day I have so much to be thankful for and being a Mom is at the top of that list! Happy Thanksgiving!
