Mother's Day

This Mother's Day didn't go exactly as I would have desired. It began a few days earlier. I began to realize our families back home were making plans to be together with the moms, and I realized we would not be there to celebrate. Bummer. And on top of missing my mom, I was just homesick. Missing not just mom, but the entire family. It has been a couple of months since we had seen anyone and I just needed a good family hug. If you don't live near your family, you will understand. If you do live near your family, take advantage of it. You never know when God might call you away.

So being away from family and some other downer events of the week just created lots of emotions on Sunday. And therefore, I broke down and cried. In front of what seemed like everyone. My husband had to come get me. Yes. Embarrasing. But sometimes you just need a good cry.

As for my treatment, they did a good job. Lunch out for yummy Mexican, nap, followed by an ice cream supper and a lazy afternoon in the hammock. I loved being able to relax with my favorite two people!

We all have moments like that! We were without any family when we had our first, but then God happened to call my parents to our church! We've been so blessed to have them here and believe me, we never take it for granted! Glad you had a great, relaxing day!! Sweet picture, too!

I remember having a cry fest in Auburn all the time. I did it once in staff meeting and couldn't stop and I am sure they thought I was crazy because they only knew me like 2 months.

Precious picture of you two. Wished we could have been together on Mother's Day - but happy that you were with yours afterwards. Family times are blessings. See you in June.
