I never realized just how much I could love and need my mom... as an adult. As with all mother-daughter relationships, we have had our roller coaster moments. But having children of my own has added a new dimension to our relationship.
My mommy loves us and care for us in countless ways. This weekend was a perfect example. Dan had a challenging wrestling schedule, so she came to stay with us.
She cooked the meals I love, did my laundry (which I loathe), read The Polar Express to Anthony a thousand times, and gave Jimmy some precious individual attention. To put it simply, we were spoiled rotten.
I had a wonderful time just being in her presence. All of her motherly touches, like a quick back rub or a hot cup of coffee, made everything right with the world. Wrapping presents and sipping wine and listening to Christmas music and talking about life made for a beautiful evening.
Some of my friends have challenging relationships with their mothers. Other friends have lost their mothers in one way or another. I am so blessed to have my mother in my life and in my world.
I love my mommy.
That was beautiful!!! I feel the same way about my moms!!! Merry Christmas!!!
