Mom:
Thank you for: potty training, "sunny side up" eggs and new Keds on the first of day of school. Thank you for helping with homework, especially the "Little House On The Prairie" shoebox diorama in the fifth grade. Thank you for allowing sleepovers that never slept, being a Girl Scout Leader with the best crafts and for Saturday morning swim lessons.
Now, for the REAL thanks...thank you for taking me to the hospital when I pulled the family dog's paw and she bit my nose. When I hid in the bathroom(bleeding), you turned off the vacuum, and calmly drove me to the Doctor. No questions asked. You even bought me a water TicTacToe game after the stitches!
Thank you for driving me to dance lessons, carpooling across town for school and teaching me the fine art of driving. Thanks for being there for every school event, every award and every small accomplishment. You always made them "feel" important. Thank you for good advice, when you thought I wasn't listening...I was. Thank you for teaching me how to cook, do my own laundry and Shout a stain out. And, thank you for pushing me out the door to college. And, for care packages...
Thank you for listening to me rant about my own kiddos and my daily grind. And, understanding when life gets chaotic and I forget to say thanks for your words of wisdom.
You taught me that its never too late to say thanks.
Happy Mother's Day...
Love,
Cappy
