Happy Mother's Day!

I am not a perfect home-making, cookie-baking mother.
I don't like cooking and i certainly don't like cleaning.
I'm not the type of mom who plans the kids activities and stays on schedule.
I've never done too well at mothers meetings or play-dates.
Elegant clothes and high hills make me nervous.

I am, however, a mom who plays chasey through the house and catches butterflies in the garden.
One who lets her kids jump on beds and roll in mud.
And then, when they are all cleaned up, lets them do it all over again.
A mom who lies in bed with children every night to read stories and hear their hopes.
A mom who still gets up in the middle of the night to make sure all is okay.
A mom who encourages free thinking and wild dreaming and self-believing.
A grateful, hopeful, flawed mom with endless supply of silly laughs, dances and smothering cuddles.
One who loves you more than anything else in this world.

Happy Mother's Day.
