Mother's Day

Our family shared a day of reflection yesterday. As most of you know this was my first Mother's Day without Daniel, also decoration where he is buried was yesterday. We went to the cementary and placed our flowers. The greatest surprise awaited us as we noticed a flower arrangment on his grave. It had his picture in a glass waterglobe that is just beautiful.
As we arrived back at home Donald and Ray cooked me a wonderful lunch. We had meatloaf, mashed potatoes, corn on the cob, fried green tomatoes my favorite and bread.
Then Ray pulled out his card for me, this made my day because Ray picked out the card all by himself and this is what it said:
Having You For A Mom Is A Beautiful Thing
I've always known I could trust you, that you cared about me, and if I truly needed to confide in you, I could. Just knowing that has made a wonderful difference in my life. More than you probably know.
Now that is profound coming from a wonderful son that I have. I just love him so much and as I looked at him yesterday I noticed how much he really does look like me. I thank God for every moment I have with him and I remember the moment I gave birth to him as he cried out.
We spent the rest of the day just laying around and then we went back to the cementary again. There are sweet memories I have of Daniel and I will always carry them with me.
I thank God for my family, for my mom and dad.
