My oldest son gave me my Mother's Day gift tonight, and I cried. I read all about how much he loves me, loves my hugs, and loves the way I make soup. What really hit me was when he wrote "if I could give my mommy one special gift it would be money to buy more food"
It made me think of my childhood, and how poor I grew up. I personally think we have an abundance of food, it just takes some thought to prepare. Just because you can't eat it immediately doesn't mean there is NO food in the house. HELLO it's called defrost!
My mom did they best she could and I love her for that. Now that I am older and a mom myself, I finally realize just how hard it was. My mom is an amazing warrior woman.
Happy Mother's Day!
