Mother's Day, Part 2

While Chris was in Ocean Isle with his family last weekend, I was in Cincinnati with mine. Some people acknowledged that this was my first Mother's Day as a mother, and others said it was my last Mother's Day of not being a mother. The only thing that mattered to me was getting to spend a very quality week with my own mom. Her feeling better than expected was the best Mother's Day gift I could have received. And while I hated to miss seeing Chris' family and being away from him on his birthday, I was grateful that we could each be with our families and that we have the joy of parenthood to anticipate.
