I love being a mom. What an honor and privilege it is to raise children. To lead them. To guide them. To love them. My cup runneth over.
I have recently been inspired and reminded by Ilana's mom Pam that motherhood doesn't end at 18 - that our chance to love and lift does not end in those early years. Since Ilana was diagnosed Pam started staying with Ben and Ilana every night. She cleans the house, wakes up with the babies at night, takes Lans to every appointment, calms fears and lifts spirits. She has been by her side emotionally and physically every step on her road to recovery. Lans said she keeps telling her thank you and Pam says, "Will you stop saying thank you?! You make me feel like a guest! We are in this together!" Remarkable. She is a rock.
