Mother's Day

Mother's Day. A special day for me. Not for the recognition. For the fact that God allowed me to be a Mother. A Mommy. I am blessed with a full heart because of my two adorable children. A Mommy. I am lucky in love with my life because I get to be a Mom.

Mother's Day. A very special day for my Mom. A day where she gets her well deserved special attention. A day where she is reminded how grateful my sister and I are to have had her love in our lives since the minute we were born. A day that makes me realize how she gave everything she had. Every minute of the day. Every piece of her heart to my sister and I. And still continues to do so. My Mom has taught me throughout my life how to cherish Motherhood. How to embrace life's little moments and not take anything for granted. Ever. She has led my sister and I through this amazing adventure through example and that is my greatest goal for my own children.

Mother's Day today. My babies have been hit with some sort of a flu bug. My son is pretty much fully recovered. My daughter's has just started today. Each of them have had fevers of 103.5 at one point throughout the process. No other symptoms. Just quick spikes in temperature. We have had moments of fear when their little bodies were radiating with too much heat. But they are improving. Slowly improving. But it has been hard to see them suffer through this. The only positive to come out of it has been the endless amount of cuddle time. And I do love and treasure the cuddle time.

This morning my daughter was really having a rough time. She was sick to her stomach for the 1st time ever. It was very sad. My husband walked in the room with flowers and a gift just moments after my daughter had gotten sick. He found her sobbing quietly in my arms. He looked at me with such sympathy and said, "Happy Mother's Day honey". He gave me a gift. I had no idea what it could be. Our last week has been so busy and a bit stressed trying to get our house ready for the party we had yesterday. And then with the kids being sick. Seems like the last few days have been a blur. So I looked in the bag and my eyes instantly filled up with tears. Okay, maybe I let a few tears slide down my face as I pulled out my brand new "nifty fifty" .

Honestly I was shocked. I didn't get emotional because of the lens. I got emotional because of what the gift means. It was his true thoughtfulness that made me tear up. The fact that during one of the most hectic weeks we have had in a long time, he took the time to slip out and get something that he knows I have only been dreaming about. The sincerity in his eyes is what made me tear up. I looked at him and said, "Thank you" and the words that he replied which I will never forget were, "No, thank you for everything that you do". Aaah, a heart melting moment.

Mother's Day. A day of love and appreciation. A day spent with my little ones.

And a day that offered a bit of a surprise......I feel like my whole blip world has just opened up. It's nifty fifty time people!! Happy Mother's day Mommy blippers!!
