CindyH: Son Sam Nails Mother’s Day

CindyH: Sam came home from school yesterday and presented me with a card. In addition to the gorgeous artwork, he wrote in painstaking nine-year-old penmanship: “Dear Mother, You are kind and loving. The unique thing about you is you're more beautiful than any mom in the world. Your spaghetti is better than any other pasta. You have been there for me always. You led me through these good years, and the times when I was scared, and you held me close and calmed me. Thanks for being my mom. So here's to you Mom— a woman of many talents, a pretty, loving, honest, awesome, happy, caring, cool, super and radical mom. Happy Mother's Day, Sam.” My heart is full.

Question: Any of you other moms have an especially nice Mother's Day Sunday? Please describe it.
