Mother's Day

A friend of mine shared an article on facebook entitled  'A letter to the motherless on mother's day', which of course got me thinking about both of my moms.  Now that i'm a mom myself i miss them even more. i wish they were here to share my journey of motherhood with me.

One of mom's favorite sayings was "every day is mother's day", and boy is she right. Every single day we are deeply involved in all aspects of our childrens lives',  from the their basic care to their emotional needs. Now I have a bigger appreciation for everything they went through to have me and raise me (and sometimes i even feel sorry for myself that they arent around to be the grandmothers that they would want to be)

Even though I dont specifically celebrate the official Mother's Day, im sure glad Yossi's school does.  I always knew that beneath all of the differences and challenges, Yossi's understanding is intact. still, i get excited  all over again each time we experience his ever expanding thoughts. Yossi's teacher (of 3 years) also has faith in him.  I'm so grateful that she has given Yossi a voice. I was teary eyed when Yossi's  showed me his Mother's Day project and my heart absolutely melted when Yossi said "I did this."

I think its safe to say that my child is brilliant, and he knows his mother very well.
