Mother's Day...and a caper

I really had no expectations for Mother's Day. I simply would have been content staring into the eyes of my beautiful boy, the boy Jack and I created.
My sister's had other plans. Debbie and Pam made sure I was recognized by Ben, hence the early pick up last night.

Debbie was the driver, Pam was on her way home from out of town soccer games.
Debbie gave Ben categories to shop from, jewelry, flowers, etc.

What does Ben say?  I want to buy my mom a Minnesota Vikings t-shirt. Debbie was  taken aback but said, well ok. I laugh just thinking about her reaction!

I cried when I got that t-shirt. Every Birthday or Christmas, when I ask Ben what he wants he simply says I want YOU to buy a Vikings t-shirt. I always say, honey this is your day...my selfless boy.

My t-shirt was put into a watering can and Ben said, apparently I'm your water. My eyes well up as I write this, because he is my water. Thank-you Debbie and Pam.(more than you know).

I spent the day at my in-laws, we had brunch. We do things different, instead of the traditional meals we have always had. We do not sit in our same seats.

I watched many fathers outside today with their children...I have to admit, it tugged at my heart.
