An 'Aha' Moment

While showing someone my tattoo of Malachi's feet. It came to me that the words, 'My son...' came out of my mouth. I felt like after losing him I wouldn't get the honor of being his mom/mommy etc. But thinking on it now, I was his mom and I still am in some way. He will always be my little man. I love the Dr. Seuss saying. "A person's a person no matter how small."  I have daughters and it was amazing to just say, 'My daughter', for the first time after my first daughter was born. I felt important somehow. Like, someone needs me 24/7. I love being a mommy! I'm blessed that God has given me the little people he has and taken the one He needed to be with him. :)
