The begining of my road

    I have been wondering where I begin. Not the beginning of my life, not when I was born, but where did the person I am today begin? I believe I started when I was 17 years old. I became a single mother and any adolescent immature choices and actions that most teenagers have had to leave. I had a new life in my hands and I had the responsibility to do everything in my power, even beyond my power to give this little person everything they ever deserved and wanted. It still took me a while to grow up. But never did a moment pass where I ever regretted him, or looked back and wish I had changed my decision. My son is a part of me. I don't know where I would be today without him. My life would not be the life it is without him.  I don't know if I'd be with my most wonderful husband, my soul mate, if I hadn't had him. I don't know what road my life would have taken. I wouldn't have any of my other four beautiful children. I'd be someone completely different, married (possibly) to someone else, with other wonderful kids, living a different life, making different choices based off of different beliefs... I don't even think I'd be as open minded as I am now.  I don't know who I would be, where I'd be, what kind of person if it weren't for my beautiful blue eyed son. He is a blessing. If only all of the mothers and fathers out there could see their children as blessings. That is exactly what they are. Every person is a blessing.

 Think about it,  you are a blessing, a miracle.
Even if no one has ever said it to you, you are.

Believe it.

The begining of my journey.
