It's Mother's Day! A day for all moms to get pampered and be queen for a day. It is a day to celebrate motherhood, a role that is so important yet at times taken for granted. I think a mom is the glue that keeps the family together. She keeps her hubby the man that he is today and will do anything and everything to make her children happy.
Although there may be times the role of a mom can be overwhelming and challenging, I will not trade it for the world. I love it when I hear my kids laughing, see them playing, spending time with them, watching them grow right before my eyes and saying the darnest things that you never thought kids would say.
Yesterday our six-year old son said "Mommy you will always be in my heart and I will always love you". Where did he hear that? He said he just thought about it and that he meant it. There I was extremely touched and tried to hold back my tears. Our 10-year old son also gave me a personal card that said "you are number 1, not number 2, I love you". Geez, I was so proud of them! Today hubby gave me a card that said "you're the love of my life". With those words, I'm a happy camper. :)
This year's Mother's Day is extra special! A year ago on May 4th was my last chemo session. Days leading to May 4th it was on my mind constantly and on the actual day I completely forgot about it. I had a crazy week at work to say the least and I won't get into that. But thanks to my wonderful hubby, he reminded me the day after that it was indeed a year after my last chemo session. I emailed my closest friends at work about it and they we're all proud of me.
It was a celebration. The fact that I surpassed one of the most difficult treatment a person could endure. It was a big feat! So our family went out for dinner to mark the occasion. We didn't tell the kids why we dined out that night. It was for me and Mark. We won our battle.
