Mothers day-

I wake up to the clink of china, and the door opens as my sleep clouded eyes fight the cobwebs of dreamland where I am faintly aware that I was whimpering in my sleep for lost love... I try to make sense of what is happening and fight past the morning heartache of missing "him" yet again and this is the sight that meets my eyes...

My lovely child walks in with a plate in her hand and announces with great satisfaction,
"This is what is called breakfast in bed!!!"

Acutely aware that my 10 year old child has prepared me a meal all by herself I sit up in bed, amazed and overwhelmed. I feel overjoyed that I have this sweet unconditional love in my life and guilty because lately having lost in love I have felt so miserable... I feel a lump come up in my throat. She is too good to be true. This angel in my life, my little ray of sunshine-

She has made me scrambled eggs, toast and tea! All by herself. My head goes through the calculations of how much thought and effort went into the preparation. And then amazement at the fact that she managed to jump over the doggie gate with her plate in hand and carry it all upstairs. And even more wonder at the planning that had to have gone into it, not to mention how early she had to get up to pull it off.

I am teary eyed as I tell her I love her so much! And how she is the best thing in my life. "No one ever made me breakfast in bed before!" I tell her...
"Are you serious?" she asks. "Everyone should get it especially you- you are wonderful..."

I feel the tears come again and I lean in to kiss her. She hops on the bed with me and we share the breakfast and there is a moment of such deep satisfaction. My life is good. That done we get to cuddle and it feels so good. I notice another achyness creep into my heart. I wish he was here and things would be perfect is my thought and then I immediately push it aside, it is what it is... life is perfect just as it is. There is perfection in every moment and lately I have overlooked that. I find peace and comfort in my daughters embrace and she in mine and there is an ageless bond that is reinforced. We get up and get dressed and head out into the world.

It is a good day to spend with my mini me- We take care of business and lunch like ladies. We attend to tasks and then coffee and dessert like socialites! After a lazy afternoon she gives me a card she has made. Beautifully crafted it has her fingerprints all over it.

Dear Mom,
Thanks for everything you have done for me. You always take care of me and get me anything I want. You make me very happy.
Love, Ambar

I look up and she says, "Really mom. It's true. You are amazing. You give me everything I need. You make me very happy."

And I feel my eyes tear up again. She gives me a hug and a kiss and runs off to play while I write my little piece.

We're headed out again and we shall dinner like the queen and princess that we are and then cuddle some more in front of the telly... yes life is good, and I had an amazing mother's day...

Happy Mothers Day to everyone-

And P.S.
Happy Graduation day to all my pals-
Got the invites,
Saw the banners,
Would've been there,
But I had a date with an angel who made me breakfast in bed!
Love you lots!
Hugs-
