When I awoke early on Mother’s Day, I thought about how blessed I am to have been given the opportunity for others to call me “mom”. Angelo awoke first to wish me a great day. After he dressed, we awoke Francesca to head out to her second of four days of Lifeguard Certification class. Happily, Angelo and I dropped Francesca off at the pool. When we arrived home, Vincent and Gabriella were next to wish me a “Happy Mother’s Day.” Once our brunch was underway and Daddy was up to help, Dominic awoke last on Mother’s Day. I couldn’t help but thinking at brunch that my day would be complete if only our little Julianna were here with us, too.
Chocolate at Hershey Chocolate World, shoes for all the boys, laundry, and Mass (twice for me since I went with Francesca later) filled our day…one of the highlights was the Coconut Cream Pie from Costco. What a treat! Again, I thought about how much Julianna would love this sweet dessert!
Being a mom is certainly not an easy job…but one that I take very seriously. I look forward to Mother’s Day each year. It’s one of those special days of the year that reminds all of us how important life is…and thanks to our moms we are here to celebrate it. Thank you to all those moms who are out there doing God’s work here on earth and to those who are doing the work from heaven! Amen!
