Happy Mother's Day
I noticed this today.
When my children were little what they wanted most was to spend time with me. Don't get me wrong they still counted how many presents were under the Christmas tree and asked for the most expensive toys, but what meant the most was the time spent with me. (Mine aren't special. Well they're special to me. All kids are like that.) They loved sitting on my bed at night and listening to me read to them or spending an hour or more at the dinner table just telling me about their days or sitting on the porch reading the paper together and watching the fireflies.
Now my kids are grown and nearly grown. I don't get to see them as much as I'd like. So today, on Mother's Day, of the gifts received and words spoken what meant the most to me was that they both spent time sitting on the back porch with me just talking.
If you've never had children I highly recommend it.
