My Mother's Day Gift...

I am not a fan of Mother's Day. In fact, I down right almost really dislike it for myself. I love it as a day to honor my moms, and the other special women in my life...but as a day for me? Not so much. As I look at my sweet children, these precious spirits Heavenly Father has entrusted to my care, I am constantly reminded at how much better I need to be doing. How far I have to go. How much I have to teach them. How my example is hindering their progress. And a lot of other "hows." Any accolades I recieve feel like something I cheated to get, something I don't really deserve. That being said, I woke up Sunday morning in the hopes it would be just another ordinary day.

Within a few short minutes, my sweet Zerin saw me, and ran into his room to retrieve this...

I was so deeply touched not only that he remembered 100% on his own, without any prodding from anyone what day it was, but also at the deep level of empathy he has. I thought I had done pretty well at keeping my feelings under wraps about the whole job thing, and I had barely even mentioned to Zerin that Bryan hadn't gotten the job. Kids pick up on so much without a word even being spoken, it's kind of scary.

But my favorite favorite favorite part of the whole card was his last word..."yet." :)
