My mom has always loved me so well, but I have felt it more in the last two and a half weeks. I've been on bed rest (more about that later), which means all the things that I normally do, plus all the things I need to accomplish before mAc's arrival, I can no longer do. So, my mom has done so many of those things for me. It's all the little things - she's done the laundry numerous times, she cleaned my floors, she washed my dishes. Those are the tedious things - the things I don't really like to do, but they keep my house running, so I do them.
Then, there are the things she's done for mAc, the grandson she hasn't met yet, but she loves him so much already. She's done his laundry too - and the boy has a lot of clothes! She has helped organize, put together, and decorate. His room feels like a nursery because she has done so much to help. She has made so many trips to the store to buy things that are must haves before mAc arrives - like diapers!
So, Mommy, thank you. Thank you for loving me through all 27 (almost 28!) years of my life. Thank you for loving Aaron like he is your own - your help around our house has helped him in so many ways! Thank you for loving mAc - you are the best, Chela!
