mom & stepmom day
Happy Stepmom's Day and belated Mother's Day to me, the one who doesn't go a day without recognizing how lucky and grateful I am. Grateful for girls who don't mind people in public accidentally calling me "mom." Grateful for Lucy who discovered that last week was teacher appreciation week in schools, and coordinated gifts and cards from everyone in both of her homes for me. Grateful for Zinni who for Mother's Day gave me the gift of choosing her outfit for dinner. Grateful for my boy, for every time he calls me for help or to "watch Johnnie!" You all fill my life with purpose and joy. Watching you grow and mature in all your different ways amazes me. I am so lucky, and so grateful.
