{Mothers Day}

Being there Mother.

Well Geez,

I really love it.

The past few months have been

different

for us.

We've spent weeks apart.

And they've been hard weeks.

And it's meant a lot of adjusting 

and work for all of us.

 

I've missed doing homework after school.

Missed the few minutes before bed when they want to talk to us.

I missed cooking their dinner,

missed doing their hair,

missed them telling me NO when I ask them to clean up their rooms.

 And I ached for hugs from them.

I am not a perfect mom.

BUT...

I couldn't possibly,

ever,

in a million years!

LOVE these beautiful children more then I do.

Yesterday

was a Mother's Day I greatly,

and deeply appreciated.

And a day when I also greatly appreciated

both Trav's mom, and mine.

The past few months wouldn't have been possible

without them.

They've stepped in whenever we've needed them

and exhausted themselves by letting my kids

run them ragged.

They've taken them to lessons and school,

did homework and tucked them into bed,

and hugged them tight when my kids were feeling worried.

I can't imagine what we would have done without them.

 And I'm so glad that we have a day to celebrate them.

Love you Mom! 

Love you Lorraine!

Thank you for all you've done the past few months,

and always.

xoxo
