Last weekend my mom made the 600 mile roundtrip drive to watch my brother's double header. She did over 10 hours of driving in one day to only spend about 1 hour with him when they went out to dinner. I told her she was crazy. I talked about her to my friends. They all agreed she was crazy. Who does that much driving in one day for an hour of quality time?
But then I thought about it from a different perspective. A mother's perspective.
Would I do the same for my boy? Absolutely! And then some!
Why hadn't I thought of this before? I guess what I needed was my own son growing inside me to really understand the power of a mother's love.
I would drive 6,000 miles in a day for my son if I had to. Give him my kidney, my life savings, my everything, my life. There is not one thing I wouldn't do for him.
I guess there is no telling what a mom wouldn't do for her child.
You did it to me again young lady. It's so heartwarming to have your daughter realize why you, as a mother, did and continue to do the things you do as a parent. I think I'll give myself a pat on the back, because I know I've done one heck of a job in raising my children :)
