My Mother’s Day weekend was all about making strides and delivering hope. It was a wonderful way to celebrate Mother’s Day…remembering those that are no longer with us and holding on tight to those that are here with us. If you missed my story about preeclampsia, you can read that here.
Our family participated in the Promise Walk for Preeclampsia.
There was sadness and heartache.
There were lots of tears.
But mostly there was hope.
Hope for a cure for this life-threatening disorder, which can strike any pregnant woman.
Hope to spread awareness to pregnant women about the signs and symptoms of preeclampsia before it’s too late.
As I watched people wipe away tears, I looked down at my beautiful babies.
And realized more than ever, just how lucky I am.
I am a survivor.
My kids are survivors.
This Mother’s Day was special.
I am one of those lucky Moms.
I get to hold on tight to my babies. Kiss my babies. Hug my babies.
Celebrate how far we have come.
And admire the beautiful little people they have become.
To all you wonderful Mother’s out there, I hope your day was special too. I hope you soaked up your little ones and celebrated….motherhood.
You are a lucky mama! Happy late mother’s day.

Beautiful, Rachel! What a perfect way to spend Mother’s Day! xo
Thanks Cheryl! It really was perfect!
I always come here for the funny because you ALWAYS crack me up – and then you write a piece like this and post those photos and I’m sitting here in front of my computer screen all choked up.
One of the most beuatiful posts you ever published, celebrating motherhood. Hope you had a wonderful Mother’s day.

You are so amazing!!! My mother had preeclampsia with me and they lost her twice on the table delivering me. I was a pain in the ass from day one I guess. Love that you did this on Mother’s Day!

Mary I had no idea that your Mom had it! But you didn’t? There is a genetic component so you are very lucky. I am so glad your mom is a survivor.
My mom didn’t have preeclampsia but I too was a pain in the ass from day one!
What a great way to celebrate Mother’s Day. Your children are beautiful.

So very cool that you did this! And at one of my favorite old haunts, too.
You are a survivor, and your kids are quite lucky too. Pretty scary, the more you learn about it.
