You know you've hit the mother jackpot when she's willing to put a halt on her life to help you survive yours. For the past couple of months she has taken care of Charlie day in and day out while I shuffled back and forth to the hospital to visit the twins. She made him breakfast, lunch and dinner. She took on potty training (successfully!). She did the grocery shopping and took Charlie to museums. She did everyone's laundry and visited the twins in the hospital. When the twins came home she bottle fed them, changed them, and cuddled them so I could pump, eat, and use the bathroom. She even got our emissions test done so we could renew our license plates online. Basically she was me, wherever I needed her to be, when I couldn't be there.
The most bountiful fruit basket or grandiose flower arrangement could never be enough to thank her for the help she has provided our family the past two months. And what makes it all the more unbelievable is that I know she'd do it all over again in a heartbeat if I needed her. And that's good because I'm sure I'll be begging for her return next week!
I pray that Charlie, George, and Eloise grow up knowing that I will always be there for them the way my mom has always been there for me. The greatest gift she's given me is teaching me how to be a mom. Thanks for the confidence Mom! I love you!!
