My whole life I wanted to become something big. As a child, of course it was a ballerina or princess. But as I grew older to 5th or 6th grade and reality hit me I wanted to become President. Into High School, my future was top on my list. I
still kept that childhood ambition of doing something huge. Now, I was more into maybe an actress, singer or even a dancer, something that would put me on the top.
I had a boyfriend and all, but really I was more independent. So in 11th grade, I broke up with Steve and decided to concentrate on my future. The future always seemed to have something promising and amazing ahead.
I did a lot of research through my 11th grade year back in 1988. I finally decided to go into magazine editing hoping to hit big bucks and popularity. As my life continued through college I realized popularity wasn’t everything. I had a boyfriend that I was very serious with at the time- Davy.
In 1990, I found out I was pregnant. I was scared, upset but still happy. I knew I wouldn’t let the baby get in my way of greatness. Davy sent me money each month, but wanted nothing to do with his child. He still hasn’t meet Braedy.
Braeden Wade Hudson was born on Decmeber 12th, 1970. He was a beautiful baby. I loved playing with Braedy and staying home from classes and work to spend time with my little joy.
I went through many unsuccessful relationships in 1991. One of which, I got pregnant again. But this time, Brian wanted to be involved. He was a pefact daddy, and he adopted Braedy as well- so Davy didn’t have to send money anymore. We got married and lived happily ever after! Ella Marie Hudson was born on November 23rd, 1992 In 1994, when Braedy was 4 and Ella was 2, Brian and I got married. Brian changed his name to Hudson so Braedy and Ella wouldn’t have to change their last names. We moved to the suburbs and I took a job as a magazine editor.
I often thought back to my dream of greatness over the years. As I thought about it more, I realized I had it.
I had a perfect life, with a perfect family. Really- what is greatness? The dictionary says greatness is “remarkable in magnitude, degree, or effectiveness”. Wow, Remarkable! My life is remarkable. My favorite thing to be called is MOM. This is amazing. My life is amazing. So is yours.
So you didn’t get the job you wanted in school, or maybe the boyfriend you planned to marry or something else- I don’t know what your case is. But if you are a mom- your life is pretty darn great. Take some time to look around and see whats going on. What do you like about your life?
I bet it’s pretty great.
