Mother's Day was on May 9th. Since I had just done Lilly's party the weekend before, I decided that I didn't want to do a big family thing the weekend after. So, I thought just some special time with my mom was the thing to do. Mom came up for the weekend and we went to brunch together with the kids on Sunday morning. My cousin (mom's Godson) TJ and his girlfriend Erin came too. We had a great time.
My mom has had a pretty tough 5 years. She has had 2 lower back and 1 neck surgery. Since her back problems started she has been in constant pain. Things got even tougher for her when her and her husband separated at the end of 2009. And although she is still making her way through it, she has come a long way. She is planning on moving to Lafayette as soon as she can and we cannot wait to have her here. She has been such a help for me with Steven being gone and has come here very often to watch the kids or just visit when I needed her. Unfortunately, her health took another turn for the worse and she is about to have another major back surgery with another following a few months later. She still has a hard road ahead but she is strong and we'll get through this together.
Love you Mom! Thank you for being you and raising me to be the woman, wife, mother, and friend I am today.
