Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day Friends. 
I hope you have had a special day!

Every year DH brings home three  beautiful red roses for me for Mother's Day.  Each rose represents one of our sons.

 I am so thankful for having had the opportunity to be a mom three times.  This Mother's Day has been a difficult day.   Today I am missing my oldest son who has been a four year old in heaven for thirty three years.  You never know when a difficult day may happen.

 I was able to give a hug to DS2 before he and DH left for field work at 6:30 this morning. DS 3 stopped after church with Granddaughter #3 so I had my hug from him also.

Take the time to give your children an extra hug or phone call today.

Thank you.

Right now I am baking DH his favorite Oatmeal Raisin cookies because I know it is a difficult day for him also.  They should be ready when he returns from the field.  I will even leave some cookie dough in the mixer bowl for him.

Oh Linda, I am so sorry it was a hard Mother's Day today. Must have been something in the air because I was extra weepy today when I hadn't been like that for a few mother's day since my mom passed back in 2006. You are right, you never know when that gried will hit. Beautiful roses though!

The roses are so pretty and what a lovely gift from your husband . I can understand why it is a difficult day for you and I send you a cyber hug . I didn't get to hug my boys on Sunday as they all live too far away but I did talk with them on the phone .
