Mom's Gift

Mother’s Day is a wonderful concept. It’s a beautiful thing to recognize the contributions of the family’s matriarch. It’s joyous to feel the love of your children and their father through the cards and gifts they give you.

But some gifts are worth more than others. After getting to sleep in, then receiving the handmade and store-bought cards from my guys, Jay took the boys to the golf course for a few hours…without me.

Don’t get me wrong, I love my family. I enjoy being with them. But, sometimes, the thing a mom enjoys most is peace and quiet. I don’t need to go out to breakfast or lunch or dinner. I don’t need fabulous jewels (though I’m always willing to receive them). Nope, I was happy to pick up the house, get the laundry started and read the Sunday Times. But that’s just me and maybe I’m a little strange….
