Motherhood

"Motherhood is more than bearing children, though it is certainly that. It is the essence of who we are as women. It defines our very identity, our divine stature and nature, and the unique traits our Father gave us." Sheri Dew

These beautiful hats are for cancer patients to cover their heads, made by my mother.


This is my mother's prayer bush.
Every time she says a prayer for my brother Ben, she ties on a new piece of fabric.
These noble characteristics of my mother define motherhood for me.
It's not about baking bread or washing clothes,
emptying the dishwasher or attending school functions.
It's about service, and the love that emanates from her heart.


My aunt Shirley also shares these same qualities of motherhood.
I was so grateful we could connect over mother's day weekend
so her great niece could feel of her heritage.
Aunt Shirley tends to the needs of others as they age like no other.

Jennifer's husband flew me out for mother's day weekend.
What a treat to spend it with some of the best mothers on earth.
