I just need to take a minute and write about how blessed I am. Being a mother is so incredible. Words can't even describe my love for these little boys. When I gave birth to Wyatt almost 2 and half years ago...my whole life changed forever. It was so amazing the feelings and emotions that came over me the second I saw my son. When I got pregnant again with baby #2 I wondered if I would love this baby as much as Wyatt. Hudson came and I cried the minute I laid eyes on him. It is so amazing the love a mother has for her children. And how you can love each one the same. I am so blessed to call them "mine."
I know my mother felt the same for her children. She was the bravest person I will ever know. Being a mom makes me think a lot about my own mom and her feelings for us. I can't imagine the pain she must have felt knowing she was going to leave this earth sooner than planned and have to leave her children behind. I can't even bear the thought. She was a strong woman, so strong words can't even explain. I am grateful for her example. So blessed to call her "mine." She knew we would be together again, that must be what helped her get through.
I am so grateful that God gave us the wonderful blessing of being sealed to our families for all eternity. I miss my mom daily. There are so many things I wish. I wish she was here to come play with my babies while I took a nap or got some laundry done. I wish we could go shopping and out to lunch. I wish she could help me babysit. I know I wouldn't even need to ask, she would just show up at my doorstep. I miss our conversations, our secrets. I miss being able to tell her anything and everything. She was the most understanding person I've ever met. Never judged me. Most of all I wish she could hold her sweet grandsons. Oh my goodness....how in love she would be with them! Each one of her grandchildren!
I am so blessed to be sealed to my beautiful babies, my loving husband, my sweet mother and all of my dear family.

Such a sweet post Tatum! Love you girl, I'm so blessed to know you :)
Thank you for this post. I can't imagine how people live life with all the hardships not knowing or having a testimony of eternal families. What a blessing that is. Thanks for putting some perspective in my day.
And when are we ever going to get together?!? :) Someday...
It's that time of year again- where we start to think about those we love and have lost- having lost my sister and my dad I know it can be so hard! I have recently been thinking how hard it's going to be having my baby boy without my dad around :( Your mom was amazing and I know she knows those little boys from up in heaven. :)
Beautiful post. Enjoyed reading your testimony of eternal families. We are the blessed ones to have you in our lives. Thanks for being such a wonderful mom to those two sweet boys and a beautiful(in so many ways) wife to Klete.
