The 25 Greatest.

This Mother's Day

 was indeed the most special one to date. 

I knew my soul~mate and beautiful children

 were going to give me cherished gifts, 

but my only wish was for Liam

 to still be in my arms for next Mother's Day. 

I know he will be, 

but I prayed to our most trusted Healer

 to help him grow

to be a beautiful, healthy, gifted boy.

I was so emotional, 

I only thought of my children 

and the man who helped create them, 

and I wanted nothing more than 

to have them wrapped in my arms 

for many more Mother's Days. 

A beautiful, sweet boy named Hudson, 

who also has mito,

 was at the walk on that beautiful Saturday. 

He passed me while he slept in his wheelchair, 

I smiled at his peaceful, beautiful face.

He only lived six more days, 

and peacefully went to be with his Creator.

I wept for his mother on this Mother's Day,

and prayed she was comforted by those that loved her most.

 I was given two beautiful Willow Tree figurines

to add to our collection. 

The moment I unwrap each one, 

I get weepy.

Each captures exactly what I'm feeling

in that exact moment.

My arms wrapped around my children 

or my loving husband.

I am truly gifted.

A beautiful ring of Holland's windmill 

in a flower design.

A stunning necklace with a windmill in a flower

with a sweet little bird flying toward it. 

Another windmill necklace with a dangling teal tulip charm.

A super awesome messenger back with 

a great picture of 

"Mito Kids Rock!" 

 We decided that morning

to take Liam to the aquarium to see 

all the soothing fishies.

He was actually awake for most of the fun!

The coolest dolphin ever!

McKenna was so excited to finally see the dolphins!

The 25 Greatest of My Motherhood.

my bed after she's awakened, to snuggle
2 .Listening to Liam awaken in the morning

 and hear McKenna say
"Ahhh, someone's awake! He wants to see his sissy!"

 while he's lying on his playmat

learning to focus again on me and his toys

with so much pride

10. Bathing Liam and massaging

 his little legs and arms with lotion

his painful gas

for a huge hug from McKenna after she's 

been at her Grandma's for hours

15. Washing her long blond curls in the tub

16. Waiting for her to use the toilet first,

since she always suddenly has to pee right when I do

17. Sitting while she does my makeup and hair,

telling me "You're Going to be soooo Gorgeous!"

and feel my soul~mate's arms caress my neck and back

when he's just arrived home from work

19. Listening to McKenna tell her brother,

"Who's the most handsome sugar~pants?"

and making him super cozy with a dryer~warmed blanket

and gently kissing him goodnight
