A Mother's Day Story
The young women I work with have such funny stories about their kids. I listen and laugh and it brings back memories of my kids growing up. Having only two kids does not seem like such a big deal to me now, but at the time it was a handful. And these young women all have three or more and work full time!
One of the young ladies, Karen, had three at once. It is so interesting to listen to her morning routine. She's up at 4:00 A.M. to eat breakfat herself.(good idea, may be the last time you eat sitting down). Then wake each little one, feeds and dresses them, one by one. She lets her husband sleep because he stays up at night with them, so Mama can sleep. She takes them to daycare by herslf. Wow!All three of them. And her makeup and hair is very cute....And she has a great disposition at work. Imagine that!
Let me tell you about this young lady. I know there are more multiple births these days, due to women waiting longer to have kids, and using fertility drugs. She seemed awefully young to have that as an option. I didn't have to ask. These ladies are so open. They all think of each other as family. This young lady had a brain tumor when she was 25. Her boyfriend at the time couldn't handle that whole ordeal. He left her. She went through all the treatment and brain surgery. Met her current husband during therapy, fell in love got married.Due to the chemo, the doctors were worried that her ovaries would be damaged, so they needed to try fertility drugs. They were not sure she could ever get pregnant. They were looking into adoption, due to her illness, that would have been a tough way to go too.When she did get pregnant, Karen had to spend her last three months of her pregnancy in bed. Bottom line, she has the cutest two little girls and baby boy. She is an amazing person. She has been through more in her young life than most have folks ever.
She had to fight through her illness, and fight to have those babies. She truly is thankful to have the opportunity to have her triplets. Those little ones don't know it yet,they have a very special Mommy. This is a real life Mommy and a real life hero. It is very cool to see it up close and personal.
