The Best Reward In Life

There are many rewards that a person can receive in this life. It may be getting a new promotion at work, buying your very first home, maybe even getting that raise that you have been working so hard to get for the past 4 years. For me, the reward in life is being a mommy. For those of you that are reading this and are parents, i'm sure you can see where I am coming from. However for those of you that are not parents, try to see where I am coming from.

Being a mommy is more than just changing diapers and making sure that my son is fed. It is about kissing every little boo boo that he gets and watching all the new things that he is learning as he grows. My favorite thing about being a mommy is how he will come up to me whether I'm standing or sitting and out of the blue give me a hug and say "I wuv you." It's so cute and so sweet that it almost makes me cry.

I love watching him play and listen to the excitment in his voice everytime he tells me that he sees a cow or saw motorcycle go by. Even though he gets on my nerves at times he always knows just what to say and do in order to put a smile on my face. Just to be able to watch him grow and learn each and everyday is the best reward. I have thanked God for many blessings that I have received in my life, but the best reward that He has ever given me is the reward of being a mommy one last time.

After I had my son I decided that I didn't want to have anymore kids so I had the surgery. Dustyn is my last chance to do it right and I am not about to let him or God down. I love the reaction I get when I go to a job interview and I am asked "What is my greatest accomplishment or the best reward I have gotten?" My answer is always the same to both questions. My greatest accomplishment is being a mommy and my best reward in life is being a mommy to my beautiful, amazing son Dustyn.
