Papa goes to California

Papa leaves tomorrow for Silicon Valley. We have had several Mother's Day celebrations which included a nice dinner out last night with our whole family and fun at the pool this morning. Now Papa will take me to a movie! And tomorrow, when Papa is high up in the clouds, snoozing with his mask on, I will take the boys on a little adventure! Here is the poem I found in my Mother's Day card which was very hard for me to read when the tiny pair of hands gave it to me with a huge smile on their owner's face. Thanks, Pit and Frunty, for making me the happiest mom in the universe.

"Why God Made Mothers"

God knew that everyone would need
someone to show the way-
Children would need someone
to watch over them each day.
Someone who would gladly lend
a gentle, guiding hand,
answer all their questions,
smile and understand...
That's why God made mothers.

God knew that through the years,
children would need somebody who
would give them strength and confidence,
take pride in all they do,
encourage them with words of praise
and have the time to share
when they might need a loving heart
to comfort and to care...
That's why God made mothers.


Dearest Mummy: I love you. Pit (in the cutest hand printing ever!)

Happy Mother's Day!
