Happy Mothers Day! This am I woke up to my usual mothers day of breakfast in bed along with a smothering of little butterfly kisses from my little one. I received the most beautiful homemade card that explained why "my mom is the best" and in it my son had placed a $1.00 of his hard earned money he had made picking up all the pine cones last weekend, so that I might indulge in one of my favorite things, Dunkin Donuts coffee. Little did he know that the biggest joy it brought was watching his little face when we went to get the coffee later that morning. He had the most joyous excitement that he was buying his mom a coffee . I could hardly hold back the tears as he paid the woman behind the counter who also reportedly was holding back the tears. "How is it?" he asked anxious for me to answer I told him the truth- it was the "best cup of coffee I ever had".
Later that morning I got another surprise- I found out my younger sister is pregnant with her first child. Learning this was amazing and my own mothers reaction UNFORGETTABLE!!! But now I know why, not because she wants to be a grandmother, but because she wants for my sister to experience those moments much like I did this morning. She wants my sister to experience the joy of being a mother.
Happy mothers Day and Congratulations Liz and Steve!
