An Over the Top Mother's Day? YEP!
Mother's Day this year was perhaps the best ever for me! To begin, my youngest son graduated college with his degree in Accounting. My daughter and her husband came for the festivities and my oldest son contributed as well.
My dear friend Torre and her husband came for the weekend and presented me with a fabulous bottle of Chardonnay, my favorite wine proudly displaying the logo from my book! What an amazing gift, along with a leather Fleur de Lis journal to record my writing and a FDL pen. I love Fleur de Lis, so this was definitely an over the top and very emotional gift! My book logo on a wine bottle....still in awe of that! The gift of friendship is amazing!
My daughter and her husband came for the weekend and at at breakfast on Mother's Day she gave me a pair of Tory Burch flats, which the character in my book, Olivia purchased with her daughter. When my daughter gave them to me, she hugged me and said "You and Olivia" which brought tears to my eyes. Dear God sweet child! You NAILED IT! Very profound! Oh my God! Could it get any better? YES It does! My youngest son gave me a James Avery charm, a box with a bow, signifying "Out of the Box Awakening" and my oldest son and his wife gave me a beautiful pendant with my scripted initials along with a Charlie Brown card that signified my writing. To say the least, this Mother's Day was without a doubt my favorite EVER and the most emotional! Favorite because each of my children gave me a gift significant of my book and I don't think they even consulted before doing so! They each, in their own way contributed from their hearts and it means so very much! I can't even begin to convey what joy each child of mine brings to my life and this incredible journey I am on. I am forever grateful for the gift of having these phenomenal kids! I certainly don't deserve the joy they have and continue to bring to my life! I am without a doubt the luckiest woman in the world!
