I guess it's Mother's Day...

but from where I stand, it's more like Offspring Day! I have the two best kids on the face of the Earth. I mean it. My son took his little sister out shopping and got me new headphones. Now... that might not mean that much to the average music listening person, but to me, it's everything. I listen to music a LOT! I've been using headphones that have been duct-taped together for quite a while. I don't want just your average 10 dollar headphones, I want the pricey ones, and they know it! I just think it's the coolest thing when your kids understand you. What could be better than that?

On top of that... my daughter gave me a beautifully presented and written card that she made herself. It's going into the "safe", as I call it. It's the place I put every cherished handmade gift I've ever recieved. These things are the most prized possesions I own. If you can pry them from my cold, dead hands... then they're yours. Short of that, good luck.

I think my kids understand that a Mother's love is unconditional. I'll be there for them, no matter what. I know how important that is, myself. Sometimes... the world seems too much to bear and your mother is the one who can make it okay again. My mother has been that for me, and I'll be that for mine if need be.

I love my Mother and my Grandmother so much, words could never do it justice. If my children feel anything close to that, then I am the luckiest person on Earth. It's hard to find an example of Motherly Love in music... but here goes. It's something she and I will understand.
