When I was little my dad would take me to walmart (usually the saturday before mothers day) to pick my mom out a gift and card. I remember the joy I felt with being able to pick out the gift all by myself. I remember trying to think of something really nice to say in the card, because I knew I was not always the most well behaved child and wanted to make it up somehow lol. No matter how silly the gift was my mom always said how much she loved it.
I miss being able to pick the traditional mothers day gifts for her. A purse that I thought was sooo cute when in reality no grown women would actually buy it for themselves. An overly corny necklace or braclet. I miss those days. I never thought as a little girl that they would be over so quickly.
Even though my mom may not be here physcially I always know she is watching over me and I can still feel her in my heart. I do have some amazing women to celebrate on mothers day. I will do a post sometime on how special these women are to me.
This was my second mothers day as a mom myself and I cant tell you how precious that day really is. Its a day that I am thanked for something that I love being. Yes its hard sometimes (or a lot of the time) I mean having an almost 2 year old is very tiring. For example at the moment he is running around half naked with his blanket yelling for a popsicle that he has been told no about getting. No matter how hard it is though it is the best thing that has ever happened to me. Two years ago on this day was Mothers Day and I was in the hospital hoping this little bundle of joy would be coming anytime....he decided that holding off one more day was best. He has always been stubborn lol. I remember having so much excitement and so much fear for what was to come. He stole my heart the second I laid eyes on his sweet face. And from May 14th at 10:17am on I was mom to a blue eyed blonde haired baby boy and its been the best job in the world.
