This morning like most morning I met my Mom to exercise, chat, and get coffee. Usually we have to decide to go to either Peet's or Starbuck's...but, today she surprised me with a coffee tailgate! It was so cute!! It was a nice surprise to switch things up, and also offered a great scenery at Lake Elizabeth. It is really great to be able to sit back and just enjoy my Mom's company and a good cup of coffee. This morning's experience really made me stop and think of how blessed I am to have such a great Mom. For years our relationship as mother and daughter struggled and now we couldn't be closer. If I could go back I am sure there is plenty that I would change but the strife that we went through in the end brought us much closer once we could get past all the hurt and drama. This time that I get to spend with my Mom I will always cherish and hold dear to my heart. I don't like to even think about a time without her (but know that's reality), and know that our heart to heart morning chats will be a part of the legacy that I pass on to my kids someday. To be a fraction of the Mom that she has been to me...that is my goal.
I love it. She is such a special woman and does a spectacular job of blessing others and making really amazing memories.
