SUNDAY MOTHER'S DAY

Our first Mother's Day without Gary is kinda weird. Matt took the boys this week to get my Mother's Day present which happened to be a Burke Williams Gift Certificate and the boys were so excited to give that to me today! They told me that they thought that is exactly what Gary would have wanted for me and I am so glad they gave it to me.

Thank God for Matt. He helped me to give the boys a teachable moment with how to treat their Mom! I hope they are this thoughtful to their wives when that time comes.

I went to church this morning and got home to have lunch with Joyce, Jeff and Monie before they went back to the desert. Jeff filled my house with roses and it is so beautiful and it smells so good. I have roses everywhere and for those of you who know me I absolutely LOVE flowers! What a treat!

I took the boys to T Street this afternoon so that they could have some much needed beach time. It was such a beautiful day and the sand was warm and the boys said that the water wasn't too bad at all. I had some time on the beach to just look around and take things in. I think it just bummed me out to see families together and couples together. It is like that everywhere I go. It is strong confirmation that I know I do not want to be alone the rest of my life.

I am tired and ready for sleep. I only slept 3.5 hours last night.

Happy Mother's Day. I hope it was everything you hoped it would be.

Love & Hugs,
