I had a great Mother's Day. Leo let me sleep in. The kids gave me the sweetest gifts: Necklaces and books that profess their love for me and that I am the "BEST" mom. Nico bought me P!nk's Greatest Hits cd and Leo brought me a salted, caramel hot chocolate. Then he gave me the best gift I have gotten in a long time. A platinum ring with the kids' names and birthstones engraved around it. I have to laugh a little because it was on time and it is beautiful, really beautiful and the company got it wrong. They left off Nico's name. I need Nico's name on there so Leo is sending it back. Poor guy...he tried very hard and I have to say other than the company's screw up, he hit a homerun with this one. Plus he got me a card that said I was a "Hot Mama" and these days, with the way I have been seen out in public, you gotta love that.
We went to my sister's house and she hosted the nicest party with the most delicious food. She lives in my Nana's old house so hosting a party there comes with a lot of pressure because my Nana had the ability to make every party the best party and today, my sister did just that.
I also feel I need to say that while I am celebrating today, this day for so many is a day where their hearts are breaking and the unfairness of it makes me so sad. There are so many wonderfully deserving women out there still battling infertility or biological clocks and I pray that God continues to hear their prayers and answers them. To be around people celebrating what they want so badly is testament of strength. When do they get their day? There are just as many people living child-free and happy about it and though they probably don't care one way or another, there is no day celebrating their decision. One of my friends said this today and I think it is perfect: Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers, women waiting to be mothers or women living child-free by choice! I hope you all had a wonderful day!
