Mother's Day

So I had a great Mother's Day. Things were really quiet and nothing big, but my father-in-law said something that really made me think. He sent me a note that said, "Is Mother's Day really a holiday. I doubt it." Why does he say that? Just because they have always thought of Mother's Day as Mother's Day Off (we all know that mother doesn't get a day off unless she leaves), But in fact that is not what the holiday is. It is a day to celebrate motherhood. A special day to stop and think of all that our mother's do for us, and how our lives benefit from their endless sacrifice. I am so grateful for my mother. She taught me well and supports me in all that I do. I know she is always there when I need someone or something. I appreciate her constant love, support, and thoughts for me and my family. What would I do with out her??? I in return am grateful for my opportunity to be a mother. I love and learn with my children everyday. It's not always easy, but I love it. It made me so happy to just have my kids talk of Mother's Day and what they could do for me. A lot of their ideas did nothing more than come to mind, but it's the fact that they wanted to make my day special. I have great kids! I had a great mother's Day. I have some fun pictures we took. I can't find the cord to my camera, so maybe I'll get them on her someday. Not today.
