Happy Mother's Day!
The gifts are not always gift-wrapped, as sometimes it's only a card, but the written words wrapped in love are the gift. So thought-provoking, and always FULL of heart.
This year I received "thanks" for not only being his Mom, but also for not "dyeing" while giving birth (no kidding). Another "thanks" for letting him stay with me and not leaving him at an orphanage. Followed by "thanks for being the best mom ever! I enjoy your company. I am glad to be you[r] son!" Jeffrey.

Jason expressed his loving Mother's Day wishes in a card ... "I hope each mother's day is better than the last"... he offered many hugs & kisses, and a lot of leaning on mom (something about being taller than mom causes this weird "leaning" disease). His gift was acts of service as he carried many things to/from the car when we went to church then to Grandma's for the day. He sat close by and "leaned" over on my shoulder and whispered many times "I love you, Mom."
There is little that is more precious than knowing love in simple ways. The written word, thoughtful deed, and of course the spoken "I love you."
Perfect gifts indeed.

I am so glad you had a lovely Mother's Day.
ReplyDeleteI totally understand the leaning disorder...my oldest is now 6'4" (??!!) and leans down to kiss the top of my head. All. The. Time. It is the sweetest thing.
