(Gotta take an updated family photo soon!)
Most kids ask the same question.
For me, after thinking about it, I decided I'd give my daughters the real answer:
What do I want for Mother's Day?
I want you. I want you to keep coming around, I want you to bring your kids around, I want you to ask me questions, ask my advice, tell me your problems, ask for my opinion, ask for my help. I want you to come over and rant about your problems, rant about life, whatever. Tell me about your job, your worries, your kids, your fur babies.
I want you to continue sharing your life with me. Come over and laugh with me, or laugh at me... Well maybe😅... Oh, I don't care! Hearing you laugh is music to me.
I spent the better part of my life raising you the best way I knew how. Now, give me time to sit back and admire my work.
Raid my refrigerator, help yourself, I really don't mind. In fact, I wouldn't want it any other way.
I want you to spend your money making a better life for you and your family, I have the things I need. I want to see you happy and healthy.
When you ask me what I want for Mother's Day, I'll say "nothing" because you've already been giving me my gift all year. I want you! ❤️
