Simple pleasures....

My two boys were at their dad's house on Mother's Day. Sunday, May 13th, at 0745, the phone rings. It is my 10 yo son Mason. He says "Happy Mother's Day!" My heart smiles. Then my 7 yo son Campbell gets on the line...."Happy Mother's Day". My heart smiles wider.

Monday, May 14th, at 2:15pm, I pick Campbell up from school. He has in hand a booklet for me, with each page colored and precious words written on it. Here are some of the phrases he wrote:

"This to let you no I love you Mama so much and happy mothers day and I love my mama so so so so so so so so much"

"My mom's the very best at: Loveing."

"I love my mom most when: She cooks becaus she makes it so good."

"These words describe my mother:

M....Mobile
O....Outstanding
T....Together
H....Happy
E....Entertaining
R....Respected"

Monday, May 14th 2:25pm: I pick up Mason from the elementary school. In hand is a grocery bag containing two bedraggled pots of flowers he's been keeping for me since Friday. A pot of marigolds and a pot containing a Gerbera Daisy. I hug Mason, and he says "Mama!! Not at school!!!" He then says "That's a daisy. I asked to make sure, because I know you love daisies"

Simple pleasures....a child's love for his mother.
