All I got for Mother's Day from my oldest child was a couple of rocks!!!
See the large red one and the very pocked green one?
Yeah, those are my two new ones.
Specially chosen just for me and carried all the way back from Arkansas.
"Mom, I brought you some rocks" he called happily as he ran down the stairs carrying the treasures in his hands.
He dashed into my room in blur of arms and legs, just like when he was five.
"Just look at this one, it is green!"
He knows this is my favorite color so he spoke the word with emphasis and wonder!
"And check this one out. One side is mostly brown, but the other side is this great red color."
I took them into my hands... as I have so many others and gave them the full attention they deserved, noticing every single detail about them...as he was hoping I would.
Sigh...
...I am loved!
