Sunday was Mother’s Day. It seems like just yesterday we were going out to celebrate my first Mothers Day. I have a whole new appreciation for this day than I ever have – now that I am a mother. And what a sweet day it was. I got to sleep in, was greeted with beautiful flowers and cards from my guys and went out to Brunch. Even though William didn’t really cooperate during the meal (he sat down for about three minutes then just wanted to be all over the place) it was still a fun time out and it’s the thought that counts right? It was a beautiful day. The sun was shining was bright as we sat outside on the patio at a local golf course cafe nearby.

my card from Will (surprisingly it was a Monkey card – Wills favorite book right now is Twelve Little Monkeys)

Lovin the color coordination…

This Mothers Day got me thinking about how motherhood has changed me. I’m so grateful to my husband and son for giving me the gift of motherhood. I’m a much better version of myself than I ever was before this little miracle came into our lives.

Oh happy day…

P.S. This is my first blog post from my new IMac!

With that I leave you with this poem I stumbled upon which I love. It’s about life coming full circle. And for those whose Moms have gone home (including my own Mom who lost her Mom when she was only a teenager) I wish you peace and love…

Letter from Mother to Daughter for Mother’s Day.

Letter from a Mother to a Daughter: “My dear girl, the day you see I’m getting old, I ask you to please be patient, but most of all, try to understand what I’m going through. If when we talk, I repeat the same thing a thousand times, don’t interrupt to say: “You said the same thing a minute ago”… Just listen, please. Try to remember the times when you were little and I would read the same story night after night until you would fall asleep. When I don’t want to take a bath, don’t be mad and don’t embarrass me. Remember when I had to run after you making excuses and trying to get you to take a shower when you were just a girl? When you see how ignorant I am when it comes to new technology, give me the time to learn and don’t look at me that way… remember, honey, I patiently taught you how to do many things like eating appropriately, getting dressed, combing your hair and dealing with life’s issues every day… the day you see I’m getting old, I ask you to please be patient, but most of all, try to understand what I’m going through. If I occasionaly lose track of what we’re talking about, give me the time to remember, and if I can’t, don’t be nervous, impatient or arrogant. Just know in your heart that the most important thing for me is to be with you. And when my old, tired legs don’t let me move as quickly as before, give me your hand the same way that I offered mine to you when you first walked. When those days come, don’t feel sad… just be with me, and understand me while I get to the end of my life with love. I’ll cherish and thank you for the gift of time and joy we shared. With a big smile and the huge love I’ve always had for you, I just want to say, I love you… my darling daughter. ”

Happy Mother’s Day!
