HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!
I have always asked my son "How did I get sooo lucky to be your mother? What could I have done to deserve such a gift? There's only one of you in the whole world...& I get to be your mom!!!" to which he often replies with this wonderful smile on his face & says with a shoulder shrug "Can't think of anything you could've done."
Yesterday, I was working out to a dvd (he knows I'm trying to get in shape)..so he brought in a fan for me. He then sat & watched me. Every now & then I would hear words of encouragement "You've got this, Mom"..."Keep going, Mom". When I was done, he brought over a glass of ice water..."so you don't get dehydrated". Having him support me & cheer me on like that was such a wonderful surprise & blessing!! So again I ask,..How did I get sooo lucky? I get to not only be a mom, but his mom. He might be right. It's just simply that I was given the gift of him ...& I am forever grateful for that blessing!!! Go HUG your children, your mom, your loved ones...it's a day for LOVE & for gratitude ~ to all those who have forever touched you & your life.
