It's been a happy Mother's Day. Last year was terrible to get through, but today was significantly better. For the most part, I remember that I am a mother not just today, but eternally. I will always have four children, even if one isn't physically with me.
In our church, it is tradition for the primary children (ages 3-11) to sing on Mother's Day. This can sometimes be torturous for me. But, they sang a song today that reminded me so much of Ethan and how much he loved stories. Here are the words:
Mother, tell me the stories that I love to hear.
Tell about heaven and why I came here.
Mother, tell how you love me and gently speak
And, then I'll go to sleep.
How I wouldn't give my right arm to be able to tell him a story before he goes to sleep :)
Happy Mother's Day to all mothers, especially those in my life and those Angel mothers that share the experience of celebrating a mother's day without all of your children with you.
