Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day to a very special Mom. It amazes me how God knows exactly what I need in a mom, even being grown up! I enjoy talking to my mom almost every night on Skype. I'm so glad we were able to take a cruise together back in March and I'm looking forward to vacationing again together in July. I love being with my mom and doing special things together or just chatting about school--which we do often. I also have the privilege of having our classes be pen pals. Its a tradition we have started several years ago. My mom continues to give selflessly of her time and energy for me. Over the last six years she has jumped on a plane or in a car to come be with me during difficult times. Even when I had surgery in November, she came and took care of me for a week and a half over Thanksgiving. (And as a teacher, we know how busy the holidays can be and she just wanted to be a mommy.) Thank you for your wonderful employer who knew your heart was with me. Thank YOU for coming and taking care of me.


This Mother's Day was different for me. For the first time, I knew for sure that I would never be a mommy to children of my own. My sweet hubby was sensitive to my feelings and had a special weekend get away planned. He had a sitter for Cooper, hotel reservations and packed the bags! We had a great time at the Happiest Place on Earth, Disney World. We stayed at Pop Century and had a wonderful dinner at the Nine Dragons restaurant at EPCOT. We went to the "Flower Power" concert and saw Davy Jones. It was a relaxing weekend away going to our favorite place to get away. Thanks Mike for helping me through a hard day.I keep believing that God has something very special planned for us this year and I'm waiting for God's perfect timing. I'm also praying for those of you who are hurting this Mother's Day.
