Every Day Is Mother's Day

Yesterday was Mother's Day and it marked the third year that I have not been home on the date to see my children.  We were on the road travelling home from Texas and it was a long drive.  My husband did his best to remind me what a great mother I am.  He left a beautiful pink card on my pillow and I awoke to kisses from him and lots of sunshine.  He reminded me of the two great children we have.  I wanted to get home and give them both a hug and kiss.  I am proud that they have taken care of things at home while we have been travelling back and forth across the country for medical care.  It has been a difficult two years for them dealing with all the emotions and stresses that cancer has thrown in our path.  They have been great and I love them with all my heart.  I am proud to be their mother.

We arrived home finally to be greeted by Laney.  She was so excited to see us that she rolled and flipped around on the floor going back and forth between my husband and I. My faithful four legged friend always makes me smile.

My husband and I are so happy to be home, as it was an emotionally draining week.  I felt like rolling on the floor with Laney, but I was a little stiff from two days in the car. I have never been so glad to be home, as it marked the end of the every three month trips across the country.  We are both very tired and the reality that we made it through the last treatment has not quite resonated in our minds.  I reminded him all test results are good and he is a survivor.  He is my hero!

My son left me one of those Hallmark cards for Mother's Day on the kitchen counter.   It was one of those cards that make you smile and cry all at once.  It made me realize that the love between my husband and I has not gone unnoticed, and has been a positive example for my son.  All said and done, everyday is Mother's Day with two great kids and a spoiled dog Laney.

We need to rest now as we are excited to start living life to its fullest.  God bless everyone that has helped us.  May the sun shine on your life and fill you with happiness always.  Life is beautiful !!
