Last year Mother's Day was a little bit of a different one. I spent Mother's Day 2011 having lunch with my Dad.
Drew and I had gone down that weekend to go watch the Yankees play the Rangers in Arlington. We took in about 2 hours of Six Flags and decided that was more than enough time spent in the heat and waiting in line before the game on Saturday.
Sunday we met my Dad and Christie for lunch at one of my most favorite places, The Cheescake Factory. It was the first time that Drew and my Dad got to meet. I hadn't seen my Dad in a loonnng while before that day and I was very anxious about seeing him and more so about what he and Christie would think of Drew and Drew of them. It was a Wonderful lunch full of my Dad's sarcastic humor and amazing food. It was a lunch cut too short by a long drive back to Amarillo.
I remember thinking as we left Ft. Worth how strange it was to of all days to see my Dad it was on Mother's Day. It was a day that was completely blessed. Looking back I am so thrilled with the time we got to share on that Mother's Day. Those moments with my Dad, the laughter we shared, the hugs I felt from him can never be taken away from me.
As I spend this Mother's wrapping my arms around the women in my life who have raised and love me, I think back on how quickly things can change in a year and cherish every moment here on Earth with those I love.
