Day from Hell

Carson is the best greeter of all times. I had a day from heck and I went to Noelle's to pick him up and he has the biggest smile and hug to give to me. I just love coming home to him. He is awesome. As we were leaving Noelle's she told me that Carson made me a Mother's Day present. It just made me feel so good inside because this is the first Mother's Day with a living child. When we got home, I looked in the bag and I had 2 pictures, a card and a handprint with a poem. I started crying and could not get ahold of myself. Sitting here now typing this about 5 hours later- I'm still tearing up. I have to say- this is going to be my best mother's day ever!! These are a few pictures of my little man trying to dismantle his swing and get the animals. He was laughing so hard and having the best time tonight!!

A Mother's Day Wish From Heaven
By Jody Seilheimer

Dear Mr.Hallmark,
I am writing to you from heaven,and though it must appear
A rather strange idea,I see everything from here.
I just popped in to visit,your stores to find a card
A card of love for my mother,as this day for her is hard.

There must be some mistake I thought,I saw every card you could imagine
Except I could not find a card,from a child who lives in heaven.
She is still a mother too,no matter where I reside
I had to leave, she understands,but oh the tears she's cried.

I thought that if I wrote you,that you would come to know
That though I live in heaven now,I still love my mother so.
She talks with me, and dreams with me;we still share laughter too,
Memories are our way of speaking now,would you see what you could do?

My mother carries me in her heart,her tears she hides from sight.
She writes poems to honor me,sometimes far into the night
She plants flowers in my garden,there my living memory dwells
She writes to other grieving parents,trying to ease their pain as well.

So you see Mr.Hallmark,though I no longer live on earth
I must find a way to remind her of her wondrous worth.
She needs to be honored,and remembered too
Just as the children of earth will do.

Thank you Mr.Hallmark,I know you'll do your best
I have done all I can do;to you I'll leave the rest.
Find a way to tell her,how much she means to me
Until I can do it for myself,when she joins me in eternity
