My Mother's Day

This year for Mother's Day, I enjoyed breakfast and the trip to New Mexico. Breakfast was great. We had heart shape pancakes, hash browns and eggs. Maya picked out her own outfit.(hat included) In sacrament my 2 friends talked. Tammy spoke about a talk given in the Sunday afternoon conference about mothers."Daughter of God,by Elder M. Russell Ballard. I cried the whole time.
Then the primary children
( you know the 10 of them) got up to sing I'm a Child of God. Maya followed her bothers right on up there, with her Dad's blackberry. She waved at Grandma Atkinson, sing a little and talked on her phone. So she made me cry a little more. Then Roni got up there and talked a little about where her husband and her are from. Her husband is from the same town that my parents are from. What A Small world. Hawthorn, Nevada. Roni's talk was great too. She talked about how she adopted some other women in her wards growing up. That made me think of how many different people help me to be who I am today. That list goes for a while. I really needed to hear both of their talks.
Then Alex topped off the crying with a card he made at school. He listed "The top 10 thing of why I love my Mom." One that he wrote just touched me so much. He wrote" I love my Mom because she works so hard at tackin car of my famly" That would be taking care of my family. I have such a hard time with him some times. I really thought that he didn't even care what I do. That really means the world to know that what I so really matters.
I couldn't have asked for a better day.
Thank you Mothers who have been my friend and have cared for me. I hope I'll have the same impacted on someone else some day to.
