It’s no secret that Mother’s Day is hard for me. But today was an okay day in itself. Why?

I got to spend the day with these two guys.

Mother's Day 2009

(Who have grown considerably since last year. See?)

Mother's Day 2008

To boot, my husband got me a beautiful card, signed by both boys as well. D and the Munchkin called to wish me a Happy Mother’s Day. And BigBrother gave me the following gift, made at preschool.

BigBrother's Gift

And, on Saturday evening, after I cut up LittleBrother’s food at supper, he said the following, combining two separate thoughts for the first time.

“Tank oo, Mummy!”

No, thank you, Bubba.

I know that I am so very blessed. I have three living, breathing children who were all able to show me love in their own ways. I have a husband who values what I do for this family. I have a Mom who told me a few weeks ago that she thinks I’m an amazing mom. I have a mother-in-law who came over today to let me take a nap. And so, today, despite underlying issues, I am thankful for the highs and lows. They have made me who I am today.

They have made me the Mother that I am today.
