"mom" It's your day.................

As you might guess, today is very difficult for me.  This will be the last mother's day that I get to spend with Lori.  Tears are streaming down my face just thinking about it. 

It seems like only yesterday that I was helping Lori bring Aidan into this world.  "Breathe Lori" "Breathe"..........."I AM BREATHING!!!!!!!!!"...............Oh the memories are still fresh. 

Man I was so scared....so clueless, but you know what?  I could not have asked for a better mother and teacher to help me learn about children, and to show me what being a parent is all about. 

10 1/2 years since Aidan was born, and 5 1/2 years for Christopher.  Hard to believe.  God I wish time would slow down. 

It's funny, but after Aidan was born I very rarely, if ever, called Lori by her given name.  Since his birth in 2002, I have always called her "mom".  That is just who she is.  It makes me really sad to know that I won't be able to call her by that pet name anymore.  She will have to be Lori once again, but I have to tell you, deep down inside, she will always, always be "mom" to me.

I know things will be changing drastically here in the next few weeks, and that's a shame.  One thing that will never change is Lori being the mother of my children.  I'm always going to be grateful for that.  It was more than I deserved. 

Lori, I hope your day is filled with happiness, and the children's love touches your heart.  You are a good mom, and you should be proud of the job you've done.
