Happy Mother's Day to my mother who is an amazing woman and my best friend. I love you! Happy Mother's Day to JoAnn. Thank you for raising Jon! Job incredibly well done! I am trying desperately to learn from you both. Happy Mother's Day to ALL mothers everywhere for that matter!
Thanks go out to Jon for an incredible Mother's Day! Not only did he throw together a perfectly wonderful day of brunching, walking, and shopping but he ultimately gave me the best gift anyone has ever given me in my life. No lie folks - this gift could never be out done. Jon gave me my son! Sure he didn't "mean" to at the time but here we are regardless. Jon has brought true love into my life. I mean the kind of love that is defined by bringing out emotions and feelings that run deeper than anything ever depicted in even the most romantic of romances Hollywood ever created - the feeling you get when you stand hand in hand at the check out line at the grocery store and smile when you see the total - $97.28! Yes!! It's under $100! The kind of feeling you get when the laundry has piled up so high that it is actually funny. The kind of feeling you get when you swear if you have to pick up his shoes one more time you'll leave but you realize that if that is the worst part of your day you are doing pretty darn good. True love. The love that comes from day in and day out - giving and taking - the best of times and worst times - LIFE.
I love where Jon has taken my life. The direction my life has taken since I married him and ran off to Chicago - freezing cold place that it is - is absolutely beyond anything even I could ever have imagined.
I have celebrated Parker every minute of every day that I knew he was mine. I have celebrated my roll as a mother privately with him in every action I have taken in the last year. So today, on Mother's Day, I am celebrating my husband who has taken me to this place. My husband who has loved me into motherhood.
