I was shocked and amazed at Mother’s Day last year. It has never been a really big thing around here. I always get the little cards and gifts that the kids make me at school, but there is never anything beyond that. I have never complained, though, as those cards and gifts have always meant a lot to me and I know the kids have always put their hearts into them.

This year, however, I was awoken to breakfast in bed. What a surprise to wake up to the smell of waffles and whipped cream. It was absolutely delicious and I can honestly say that it is the first time that I have ever had breakfast in bed. It was wonderful. I didn’t realize what a great cook my husband was.

After I opened the gifts that the kids made me, my husband presented me with a gift. I was so surprised as this had never happened before. He had taken pictures of the kids and had them put the photos onto canvas. It was beautiful and it made me cry. I can honestly say that it was the best Mother’s Day ever and I have never been more in love with my husband than I was at that moment.
