Mother's Day On The Road

I recently spent my Mother's Day in a car driving across the United States. I was once again traveling home after supporting my husband with health issues. His checkup was good and he continues to be in remission. So even though I was in the car, my Mother's Day was good! I had lots of time to reflect back about the wonderful times I spent with my children and the fact that I had been very blessed to be a mother. I recalled the weekends spent at baton twirling competitions with my daughter and watching her play tennis as if she were born with the racket in her hand. I thought about all the fun days watching my son play ball and the fact that his love of baseball gives me such joy. And then, I thought about Laney and the joy she has brought me now that my children are adults. I think I'm one lucky mom to have such wonderful memories. And now, I have new memories to add. As my trip ended and I pulled into the driveway, I was greeted by Laney and my front porch filled with with beautiful flowers from my beautiful children. Life is great!!!
