…the role of motherhood

May 8, 2019 By Christine Holtzman

So, as Mother’s Day approaches — it’s on May 12 this year — we wanted to celebrate some of the small daily moments that moms recently shared with their children within the communities served by The Laker/Lutz News.

During a recent morning outing at The Shops at Wiregrass, Jill Pydeski, of Wesley Chapel, left, holds on to her 2-year-old daughter, Hannah, while sharing a laugh with her mother-in-law, Lorraine Pydeski, of Dunedin. Jill was moved to tears, when her mother-in-law described her this way: ‘She is a wonderful mom. The best. We feel very lucky to have her in our family.’ (Christine Holtzman)
Rayna Woodruff, of New Tampa, carries her 8-month old son, Levi, and holds the hand of her 2-year-old son, James, as she walks through The Shops at Wiregrass. She defined motherhood like this: ‘It’s life-changing. It’s a struggle of love. There’s lots of activities, lots of tears, but it’s a balance. Watching them grow everyday, it makes me excited for their achievements, whether its walking, or riding a bike. It’s a lot of emotions.’
