Bless this woman
Who drove 17 hours over 2 days
Who cleaned every dish
Scrubbed my floors
Fed my baby
Changed my baby
Held my baby for an hour and a half while he napped
Fed him treats
Took him on long walks in the park
Read him stories
Loved him in a way that only a grandmother can
For still being a mother to me
For washing all our clothes
For making my coffee, my lunch, and my dinner plate
For spending the 4th of July in an open park with my son while I sat in the. ER being treated for mastitis
For taking us out for burgers that same night
For reading on the balcony with me
For watching the fireworks together from the front lawn of our apartment
For taking me to the mall and buying me a couple of stylish outfits so I feel less like an outdated frumpy mom librarian And more like a hip young professional who is a mom
For feeding and entertaining my son while we ate dinner out
For keeping a glass of water or Gatorade in my hand at all times the past few days
For taking pictures of her days with my son each day
For being my mom
I can only hope to be half the mom to lc as you are to me
Thank you
I love you
We both do
