MOTHER'S DAY

The Gift of Life

I didn't give you the gift of life,

But in my heart I know.

The love I feel is deep and real,

As if it had been so.

For us to have each other

Is like a dream come true!

No, I didn't give you the gift of life,

Life gave me the gift of you.

*I love this Poem and can not explain how lucky I feel to be a mom.

I am not sure that I should be one or that I am the best all I know as my daughter sure makes being a mom seem easy. I see other mom's and do not know what I would do if I were in their shoes. Through all these changes we have been going through this past year Tori has been such a trooper.

Justin and Tori made today special by just being with and there for me. We went to Santa Cruz with my Father-in-Law and enjoyed the day. Rode on rides like we were at the carnival.

Today was great and I expect many more AMAZING Mother's Days to come.

*Ps...If you didn't already know my mom shaped me to be the person I am today. I love her and still have so much to learn from her. I am so glad I got to be back in Evanston for three months enjoying her company!
