I got one of those chain emails from a friend the other day. It had a lot of questions about what I thought I was going to be when I grow up and what I actually am.
I never thought I'd be a mom. I never wanted to be a mom as a child. I was too much of a tomboy. Tomboy still to this day, I have two beautiful children and expecting a third. I think I'm a good mom. They are well-behaved kids who do well at anything they try. I adore them. If anything were to ever happen to them, I would... well, I can't even imagine. I wouldn't give up motherhood for anything and I'm glad God chose for me to have children, even if I didn't think I'd like it, be prepared for it or enjoy.
Marriage? HAHA! Never thought that'd happen either. I thought I would be content in dating forever. Look at how that went! I married my high school sweetheart. He's an amazing man, absolutely amazing. Of course we have our ups and downs but the ups more than outweigh the downs. And after ten years, the downs are few and far between.
I am blessed with a great life.
Sometimes those chain emails are instantly deletable. Sometimes you open them and they make you think about life.
