Mother's Day 2010

Aidan and I spent this past weekend with my sister in Houston while my brother-in-law was out of town. They just moved into a new house this past week and Megan didn't want to be alone in the house quite yet. I can't say I blame her. The house is old and makes a lot of noises. The boys enjoyed playing together and I enjoyed visiting with my sister. I don't feel I get to do that enough anymore. I hate that she lives 4 hours from me. Overall, we had a good time together. Except for the stomach virus that Greyson and I caught. I spent my Mother's Day over the toilet.

At least it was a welcome distraction from my 2nd Mother's Day without Levi. I didn't get much of a chance to really focus on what the day was. I'm so very thankful for each and every day I have with Aidan, but days like Mother's Day just make me wish so much more that I could have both my boys in my arms.

As I was browsing the internet, I ran across this, and felt it explained a lot.

Ask My Mom How She Is

My Mom, she tells a lot of lies

she never did before.

From now until she dies,

she'll tell a whole lot more.

Ask my Mom how she is

and because she can't explain,

She will tell a little lie

because she can't describe the pain.

Ask my Mom how is she,

She'll say "I'm alright."

If that's the truth, then tell me,

why does she cry each night?

Ask my Mom how is she,

she seems to cope so well.

She didn't have a choice you see

nor the strength to yell.

Ask my Mom how she is,

"I'm fine, I'm well, I'm coping."

For Gods sake Mom, just tell the truth

just say your heart is broken.

She'll love me all her life,

I loved her all of mine.

But if you ask her how is she

she'll lie and say she's fine.

WE are here in Heaven.

we cannot hug from here.

If she lies to you don't listen,

Hug her and hold her near.

On the day we meet again,

we'll smile and I'll be bold.

I'll say, "You're lucky to get in here, Mom

with all the lies you told!"
