Mother's Day

I had a great Mother's Day! Will came running in the bedroom with my card and he said, "Happy Mother's Day, look what Santa Clause left you!", how sweet! Every Mother's Day I celebrate, I also remember the five I went through heartbroken. At one point, I thought I would never be able to celebrate being a mother. God has perfect timing and has so graciously given me two special boys! I try not to take a moment for granted! I also had a very tender moment with Will late yesterday afternoon. It was just him and me outside and he began to shake this "baby" maple tree we have in the front yard. We planted this tree about two years ago in memory of the twins - Matthew and Harris. I took this opportunity to explain to him that we don't want to destroy this tree because it is special. I told him about his brothers in Heaven and how we could remember them everytime we look at the tree. I wasn't sure if he was understanding anything I was telling him. Finally, he said, "I want to go to Heaven to see Matthew and Harris and God." My heart melted as I held back my tears. This was my best Mother's Day so far!
