The Mama Bear's Cottage ®

My children were born long before I even met them. Being a bonus mama was something I never imagined or pictured myself being in the future. I always pictured meeting the "one," AND THEN creating a family. When I met my husband, I met his children too and I instantly loved them, just as much as much as I did him. With all of my heart. They were a product of who I loved, they were a part of him, and simultaneously, a part of me too.  I never knew what being a mother was, until I met you. I was not sure I ever wanted to be a mother, until I met you. I did not even know I would be a good mother. Now, I know it is my purpose, a reason for my very being. I never knew I could love so much, sacrifice so much, care so much, until I met you. I never knew I would be so grateful to wake up willingly at the crack of dawn to get breakfast ready, until I met you. I never knew I could care so much for someone's happiness, achievements, and well-being, until I met you. ...
