I’ve always had a stocking, filled with holiday treats and gifts.
But when I got older I had just one Christmas wish.
I didn’t want my stocking filled with anything you could buy at the store.
I wanted something special, from heaven and the heart…I wanted something so much more.
I wanted my stocking hanging next to more than just one.
I wanted to share my love and the holidays with a special little one.
I dreamed of waking up to the pitter patter of excited feet and laughter,
all of us together knowing what really truly mattered.
I was told that day would never come and I began to dislike the holidays, I didn’t see the point in celebrating.
It just reminded me that I would always me waiting.
Waiting for a miracle, a wish something for so much more.
Why couldn’t I be grateful or happy, why couldn’t I go back to the way it was before.
And then I received my Christmas wish and today I hung 4 stockings with care,
tears filled my eyes as I saw those three letters and all I could do was stare.
“Mom” the stocking tag read,
then James, Madison and dad.
We were a family. And I was a mom.
I couldn’t believe it, I had waited for so long.
And all of the heartache, the waiting the pain,
soon became joy,love and happiness and I knew the holidays would never be the same.
I have always had a stocking but this year mine says mom,
It is the person I knew I was meant to be all along.
Merry Christmas to all the moms. To the ones that are lonely. The the ones that are new. The ones that are hopeful and every one in between! My Christmas wish is that you never loose hope or faith!
