Thankful

[mom_n_more]

This weekend I have neglected my internet.  I had surgery Wednesday, quit smoking for the surgery, and dealt with my ex-husband.  I was not looking forward to Easter, I was bitchy with a period from hell, and life just sucked. 

Easter ended up being fun.  My kids had a blast and I held most of my temper and misery in check.  It helped to have family there.

This morning I finally log on after 6 days of absence, and what do I find?  That my misery is nothing...NOTHING compared to what one of our mothers went through yesterday. 

To the mommy of Devin, who went to be with the angels on Easter yesterday:  I am so sorry.  No mother should EVER have to go through what you did, and you did it with strength and love.  Thank you for showing all of us how to love our children and be thankful for every mess we have and tantrum we deal with.  Thank you for showing us mothers how much we need each other to survive.  I hope every mom on here has given you a hug, smooch, blessing and has wrapped you in love and support... You deserve it and every prayer that goes out to you. 

Sentimental this may be, but this situation calls for it.  I cried for this little boy and his mother, and will go home tonight and hug my little ones for the selfishness of the last few days.  And I will pray for half of the strength and love that this incredible mother has shown, for it will be more than enough to give my children the best life possible.  My thoughts, hugs, and prayers to you, mother, for this lesson.   Thank you.
