So, my heart was heavy today for all those who would find facing today very difficult so I made a point to wake up early for Mass. I went by myself (Matthew fell back asleep and Jessy stayed with Joseph who slept until I came home) and offered up my mass for a stranger but in all ways a friend of the heart. Her name was Michelle and she was facing the due date of her baby that she lost way too early. It was very important for me to honor her today, along with others who find Mothers day as a day of sadness instead of joy. Afterward, Jessy suggested I crawl back in bed and I did and then work up to the smell of a wonderful homemade lunch. What a wonderful morning. After we all ate, we headed down the road the the National Wildlife Reserve for Joseph’s first real fishing trip. It was marvelous and then the rain sent us home early.
We all had so much fun and it was a blessing to celebrate this day with my family! So very thankful for all of the boys and the man in these pictures!
