As I pondered Mother's Day today while browsing on Facebook, I realized that I had so much more tom be grateful for. Not that I wasn't grateful already for these things, but it reiterated my gratitude and why I should be so grateful.
The first thing I am extraordinarily grateful for is my mom, Georgette, and the fact that I still have her around, especially since she's had different health issues for the past 20 plus years. I saw a lot of people on Facebook who had lost their moms and greatly missed them. It was so touching reading so many of their posts and it made me realize just how lucky I am to be able to spend today with my mother. I made my mother a homemade card and had my dad take a picture of us with my camera. I posted the picture of the two of us on my Facebook page. I also made sure that I told my mother just how much I love her. I think it meant a lot to my mom that I did these things and I feel good that I did, too. I don't want to take my mother or a single day of her life with us for granted.
The second thing I'm grateful for on this Mother's Day is my son, Thomas. He is my love and my life. He is my world. I am so grateful for his kind heart. He made my mom two pictures and made me a picture as well which expressed how much Thomas loves me. (His words.) I am grateful that despite what happened to me when Tommy was born, (preeclampsia and HELLP Syndrome), that I still have him. I known so many wonderful women who lost their babies from these horrible diseases. I am grateful Tommy's creative and intuitive spirit. I know I'm partial here, but, to me, he's the most amazing little boy in the whole world!
I hope that everyone in the world was able to receive these feelings of gratitude as well. Appreciate what you've got while you've still got it because you never know … one day you may not have it, or them, anymore. Happy Mother's Day, Moms … past, present, and future!
