Mother's Day is the one day a year when you are supposed to let your mom know how much you care and how much you appreciate her. This year, I have failed miserably in that area. At least today. Today I am not seeing my mom, nor did I get her a card. I feel so badly about it, but I know that she still loves me and accepts the small things that I do as acknowledgement of the love and gratitude that I have.
Because I am so thankful for her. My mom is the best mother that I could ever ask for. She is always there, just a phone call away when I need to talk, need encouragement and need to cry. The same is true of when I want to share something exciting or a little story about R that has happened. She is there to remind me that though I may not feel like it today, God is in control and I can trust Him. She will drop whatever she needs to to come help me when I need her - like the time she took the day off work to come stay with R because he was sick and I really wanted/needed to get out to my Mom's group. Or when she and Dad would spend the night at our house when R was first born and do the night feedings so DH and I could sleep. (Don't think that's in the plans this time around, but that is OK. Two are a little more difficult and hopefully I will not be depressed this time around. :) She and my dad are constantly giving to DH, R and I whatever they can, whatever we need.
My mom would do anything that she could for both my sister and I am so thankful that God saw fit to have her as my mom. Thank you Mom, for all you do everyday for me, and for R. You are not only a wonderful mom, but a fabulous Grandma. We love you so much and couldn't have asked for better!
I LOVE YOU!
