Happy Mother’s Day!
Published May 13th, 2007 in Me.Happy Mother’s Day to all you Moms and Moms-to-be!
It’s with mixed emotions that I write this post today.
It’s my 3rd mother’s day and each year LA Toddler’s teachers have arranged a thoughtful event and absolutely cherished keepsake for my little one to give to me. This year her class made ‘dinner’ for us on Friday. It was a week full of secrets and then a big party. The kids made vegetable skewers, mashed potatoes, macaroni and cheese and fruit salad. Yummy! They were so proud of themselves and so happy to wish us all Happy Mother’s Day!
Today I was treated to our family tradition of breakfast in bed. Of course, I’d been up for a while but that doesn’t really matter. It’s just so much fun to see the excitement and joy on my daughter’s face when she gets to do something special for me (or for daddy). There’s nothing like a 3 year old bubbling over with excitement!
This day has also become a sad one for me. This is the 4th mother’s day since the last one I celebrated with my own mother. She passed away the year before LA Toddler was born. I miss her so much it’s hard to find words to describe. I take great comfort in knowing that we were great friends and that LA Toddler and I are headed for a similar relationship. I love you mom. Wish you were here.
I am sorry for the loss part of your Mother’s Day but Happy Day to you!!
Yes, I second the sentiments of Hilly. I’m glad you enjoyed your day with LA Toddler. Next year it’s double the fun.
I’m sorry about your mom. Carry on what you love about her as a mother yourself.
And as for that Mother’s Day dinner…I had a brunch and well, my little one was so excited to have “watered all the plants” and “stir the muffins”. I just try not to think that perhaps there was a sneeze or two in the bowl!
Happy Mother’s Day!
I was touched by the story of your Mother’s Day meal and wanted to share with you–and your readers–a new campaign that celebrates the nice things people do for one another.
Your Mother’s Day story is the perfect example of a sharing story that could help a family in need get the food they are in need of.
The “Spread the Sharing” campaign by Country Crock celebrates the wonderful acts of sharing that people do every day and pays that kindness forward to those who need it most. For every sharing story posted on www.SpreadTheSharing.com Country Crock will donate a meal to a family in need through America’s Second Harvest.
Hunger is a constant battle (14 million children go to bed hungry every night nationally) and this program tells people what they can do, from their chair at no cost to them, to help the needy among us.
This is a feel good, positive website that will touch your heart.
