The best reason to be happy…

You may be thinking… because I have a great company, because I feel fulfilled with my job; or maybe because I have a good standard of living.

No, absolutely not. The best reason to be happy is because:

I LOVE BEING A MOM AND I HAVE THE BEST SON A MOTHER COULD EVER ASK. Period.

Let me tell you that his card made me cry of happiness! He gave me a beautiful blouse and a flower…

He was always the sun who woke me up, the little one that with just coming into this world and without telling me one word, told me to be a better person for him. I loved to teach him everything that I have learned from my parents and more along the way… I nurtured him, feed his soul and brain love, love and more love. And what do I have in return? Lots of love back for me and my husband; I see an honest man, so dedicated and truthful to his ideals of love and peace like he always says. He taught me to be strong when at 9 years old told me "everything is going to OK mom, I'm going to come out of this", when he saw my eyes so red of crying because he had cancer in one kidney… That is exactly what I dreamed of him!

This is so funny because this post looks like a post about my son, and it is! I am swollen with pride for being his mom. He always gave me SO MUCH that I wanted to give him a little back. I am supposed to do a post about my mother… I couldn't celebrate with her because she's in Argentina. But this post is about her too, because I could not have been a good mom without my mom. She is THE BEST MOM A PERSON COULD ASK FOR…

I want to share with you (thank you for being always with me) how happy I am for having such a good son and wish all of you the same happiness for Mother's Day. Having children is to be blessed to a level that only moms can imagine. How was your day yesterday? Did you have a good time with them? Let me know how you celebrated!

I feel that my dreams are totally fulfilled… and my mission accomplished.

Love,

Pat

    There’s not a greater blessing. We just spent the day together…watched my youngest ride his new bike and my older son work in the yard.

    What a sweet post and you are right. There is nothing better in the world than being a mom. My husband and I really struggled to have children and we make sure our kids know how much they are wanted, and that they are precious gifts from God.
    My 7 y.o made me a sweet bookmark in school with his picture on it, and I got cards from both kids (my 3 y.o drew pictures on hers) along with some yummy chocolates. A very relaxing day with my family. Can’t ask for anything more ☺
    Your son is very handsome!

    You got me a little weepy! I think you said it perfectly when you said that when he was born without saying a word, he told you to be a better person for him. I feel that way all of the time with my kids. Someone once told me that to the world you are one person but to one person (or two in my case!) you are the world. Being a Mom is the absolute best thing ever!!
