Happy Mother's Day!!

Happy Mother's Day to all of the moms out there. You know anyone can be a mother but it takes someone really special to be a Mom. Being a mom is the most important job in the world. No one tells you that from the time you first lay eyes on that little person a piece of your heart will forever be carried around outside your body. You will always worry about your children no matter how old they get.

Being a mom can be the most rewarding job too. This was my first Mother's Day with Emily in school. I remember making my mom things in school for mothers day and thinking that they were ugly and how would she ever love them. Now I understand. Emily brought me a flower that she had potted herself, sand at brownies in a jar and a card. It brought a tear to my eye. It wasn't diamonds or gold or a fancy dinner, yet it was the most wonderful gift I have ever been given. Who knew that I would become such a softy and would cry about something so simple. Since I am in a sappy mood I will share with you all the poem that was in the card Emily made for me at school.

Dear Mommy,

I think of all

The things you do,

And then I know

Why I love you.

You make my breakfast,

You wash my clothes.

You take me places

I want to go.

You teach me things,

You read to me.

You help me become

What I want to be.

You sing me songs,

You hold me tight.

You hold my hand

In the dark at night.

In all the world

I know it's true,

There is no mommy

Just like you.

Now if that wasn't enough to make you cry then she hugs me and says " you are the best mommy ever". Talk about make a person cry. So to all the mommies out there I just want to say, have a very extra special day!
