aprilz81, I'm so sorry you weren't recognized. I hope you at the very least had a relaxing day and did something that you enjoyed!
I always feel like I can hear K when the wind is running through the leaves and trees, and yesterday was pretty windy. It was a little comforting to think that she and all of our babies were having a party to celebrate us yesterday.

I wanted to share a story that happened to me today, because I know all of you here will understand just how much this gesture to meant to me this week.
Last week I was in a very minor car accident that was MY fault (foot slid off the brake as traffic was stopping and I ran into the guy in front of me). There was no damage to either car, and he was very nice about everything - declined taking my information. I gave him my business card, just in case. He checked in a few days later to see if I was okay, and wished me a happy Mother's Day if it was applicable.
You all know the hesitation in sharing our children's story with a stranger, but for some reason I felt compelled to share her - all I said was thank you, it is applicable, we have a little boy and a daughter we sadly lost at birth last year. He replied and asked if I minded sharing her name, which I did - usually when people ask that, they will say something to the effect of including her in their prayers.
This man, who I HIT WITH MY CAR, just made a $100 donation to the local children's hospital in her memory. He also sent me a mother's day e-card, saying that he lost his younger sister at birth, and his mother to breast cancer, so he felt compelled to personally wish me a happy Mother's Day.
I am sitting here just sobbing in my office, and completely at a loss for words to say. How do you actually find the words to thank someone who does something like this??

I'm in tears reading this! What a wonderful thing for someone to do, there just aren't words.

TW I got my present from H for Mother's Day yesterday. A necklace pendant with the three birthstones of my girls. I love this more than anything and it made me so happy it included all our children.
hey professor McGonagall!!! You are right. Mothers are a great blessing. they comfort us with her laps. Even they work hard for us. I can’t forget those days when my mother worked hard for me. She wanted to bring up me like a well-mannered and a good citizen. Now I am but still, those days are fixed in my mind. I can’t forget those moments. my mother got her body full of sweat when she worked. I can never compensate for my mother’s effort she put for me. She is a royal model and my superwoman. I think everyone can describe her mother’s properties. This is a beautiful and lovely relation. May every mother live a long life.
