It was a lovely Mothers' day today. I was treated to brekky in bed, and THEN more sleep! What could be more luxurious than that? I am so thankful for the privilege of being a mother every day, though often the daily grind makes me weary. I remember when I was in hospital nearly 5 years ago and the doctor was talking about kidney cancer, all of a sudden I was mortal. I remember thinking that there was nothing I wanted more than to go home and be there to see my baby smile at me.
Now, when I am so tired at the end of the day and desperate for some quiet time alone, when a little person pats the pillow and asks me to lie down a while, or to tell a true story from when I was little, a voice inside my head whispers, "Remember!" And I lie down or I tell the story because I know that every day is a gift, and this is where I truly want to be.
