What a wonderful mothers day. This one, I really felt like a mom.
Thank you Skyler for pampering me and cooking me a wonderful breakfast, lunch, and dinner;
And for making it a poopy-diaper-free day for me!!
I love being River's Mom. It's challenging and soul-stretching, mostly because I love him so much, but it's also the best thing. He's growing so much, it make me so happy and yet breaks my heart a little bit, all at the same time.
I see my baby fading away into the cutest little boy.
He says "tickle tickle" but only to charlie as he reaches out scrunching his hands open and shut.
River moves to the groove of any song he hears, head bobbin' and swaying.
And this little boy can run now.
He went to nursery all by himself Sunday, with out blinking an eye when we dropped him off (his buddy Doug greeted him with a hug and they were off to play).
Heaven help me. :)
We've had some pretty bad sicknesses these last months and I have never worried so much or felt so helpless in all my life. I wanted to fix him as soon as i could, and it killed me when the doctors would say "you just have to wait and let it run it's course". All I could do was worry, pray, and try to make him comfortable. Those are the hardest times.
I've only had River for 18 months, but I have a new appreciation for my own sweet mother. She did this for 4 kids, one of who went through cancer. I can't imagine how hard that must have been. I am so thankful for all that she has taught me and the example that she set for me. I have always felt that the qualities I treasure, I learned from my mother.
So to sweet Margo, Happiest of Mothers Day. Thank you for showing me how to be a Divine Mother (and a kick-butt nana!!) full of love, patience, and joy. You're the Best!
Now, if you want to see an enlightening and touching short film (like 3 minutes maybe) about Motherhood, follow this link and prepare to have your heart touched so much that you want to call your mom and tell her you love her.
