STILL NOT WALKING.......

Mother’s Day Revisited

Last year my Mother's Day seemed very much like it was just motions. Maybe it was that I was just a few weeks postpartum or that Andrew had to work and I spent the day alone with the girls, the reason doesn't matter. It was hard.

This year was different.

I am not saying that it was how I would have dreamed spending Mother's Day. There are a few things that I wish would have not taken place.

However, I would not change going to be with my mom for the first time in a few years.

I would not change my Andy taking the day off work, to be with us.

I would not change spending quality time with my girls and letting them do something that they love doing.

I still had a range of emotions, not all of them good. And a big cry on the way home, just like last year.

But the most precious moment of the day was Paige running to me from her class to bring me a card. She was so proud of the little pink paper, I almost cried when I saw it.

It was such a lovely moment.

Really that was all that I wanted for Mother's Day, to be reminded that my girls love me.

Oh, and maybe some fresh Krispy Kremes.
