Happy Mother's Day!

It is Mother's day here in Vietnam. I arrived a little later than normal to Felicks' house because it is Sunday and we don't have class. To my surprise, the boys had made a beautiful floral arrangement for me with a card saying "Happy Mothers Day" in English. They sang and took photos. I am blessed! Now they are preparing a special lunch.

And guess what other blessing I have this morning??? Cramps, haha never thought I would say this, but I look forward to menopause!

So what can I say about the best Mothers I know?  You have taught me so much. I am a better mother because of you. I thank you for your love, your guidance, the challenges and your gifts of friendship. Some lessons have been tough, some easy, some beautiful and some extremely challenging. Raising our children in a technological, busy, fast world can be challenging. Thank you for keeping me grounded and sane. I have balance in my day to day. The knowing that I can call each one of you for support, love, even just a laugh brings me peace. We have cried, laughed and shared so much together.

I am who I am because of you.

Thank you

With much love and admiration,

Your daughter, sister, friend,
Kathy

With all the choices we make in life, choose happiness.....Kathryn A. Emerson
