Mother’s Day-What All Mothers Really Want

Are you searching for the perfect Mother’s Day gift? Search no more. I will tell you what all mothers really want for Mother’s Day. We are all the same and we all want the same gift. And it is perfect.

You don’t have to go to the mall for the perfect Mother’s Day gift.  You don’t have to search online.  All she wants is you.  Time with you.

All mothers everywhere want time spent with their children. Unless perhaps, they have really young children. And then they may want a few hours of quiet time.

Confession: I never liked children when I was younger. I didn’t think babies were cute. All kids were kind of annoying. Perhaps because I was the youngest in my family? Perhaps I was selfish and didn’t want to take time to look at them? To see them?

I never babysat. Never wanted to. No draw there. Until I met my husband-to-be. Or maybe after we were married?

Good thing my mind changed, because it wasn’t too long after we were married, we were pregnant. We spent our first wedding anniversary pregnant. And in November, my life changed forever.

I will never forget holding her for the first time. And I think I remember holding her every time after.

Mothers have a good memory, you know?

“Motherhood: All love begins and ends there.”  Robert Browning

She was a joy. She was sweet and adorable and smart, oh so smart. I relish those years we had with her as an only child. The time her and I spent playing. That’s what you do when you have one child. You play. Because you have more time to devote.

And then, I remember how thrilled we were when we found out I was pregnant with our son, three years later. Because of some health issues, we were warned it might not be possible. He was a blessing. Of course they all are, aren’t they?

A son. A baby boy. I loved him so much. I knew nothing about boys, or sports, but I was excited to learn. He taught me all I needed to learn. He had my heart. He still does. He is my bud, my Addy. He can make me smile so easy. He has always been able to manipulate me with his blue eyes.

That doctor fixed me good, because when our son was four months old, we got a surprise. I mean, another blessing,

An unanswered prayer.

She has delighted us from the moment we held her. I always knew there was a reason God played that little joke on us. I used to think she would be the first female president. I know now why God gave us a baby girl, thirteen months and one day after our son was born. He knew she would help children and adults, with disabilities and learning disorders. He knew He was giving us a baby with a heart larger than she was. A heart of gold.

What do I want for Mother’s Day?

I already have the three best presents God could ever gift me. So, the only thing left is time. Time with all three. All three of my hearts, under one roof, with Mark. Four hearts next to mine.

Time. That is all us mothers want. The perfect Mother’s Day gift is time with our children.

When they were little, for Mother’s Day, I would ask for a day of no fussing. No arguing. Give me that, please? But, I also wanted time. Just quiet, peaceful time, spent with my three littles and Mark.

I can only imagine time is what my mother and mother-in-law also want for Mother’s Day.

My mother-in-law had two boys. That would scare me, because you always fear a son can be taken away by a daughter-in-law. I have learned a lot of wonderful things in the last thirty-one years, but one thing I know is how important it is to be in your husband’s family. Love them like they are yours. Because after thirty-one years, they are yours. They are your family.

I wouldn’t have it any other way.

My mother-in-law has taken me in as her daughter, a daughter she never had. And that makes me happy. Because of her, and having a son, I know how much I always want him to be close to us. And, I want him to want to be in our life. She has made me realize this.

I am so thankful for Mark’s parents. I am blessed by their son. And, I am blessed by her love.

“The love of a mother is the veil of a softer light between the heart and the heavenly Father.”  Samuel Taylor Coleridge

I am also blessed to have a loving mother. A mother who can tell, by the sound of my hello, that something is wrong. She always knows. Two hours away, she comforts me, cheers me on, laughs with me and loves weenie dogs like me.

Mom has the will only God could give. When she puts her mind to something, she does it. She would make us homemade pancakes, or biscuits, and have a bowl of cereal, because she was trying to be healthy. I don’t have her will power; I wish I did.

My mom has always been a hard worker, and her and my dad have taught me how important that is.

They taught me all the good things. They taught me how to parent. They showed me love.

That’s what mom’s do. Moms are selfless. Moms are love. Moms are caring, and mending, and moms are always on your side. Mom’s are dependable, trusting and extremely loyal.  Mom’s are gullible; we want to believe the best.  Mom’s are love.

All we want in life is the love of our children. And time. Not just on Mother’s Day.  Whenever possible.

“A mother’s happiness is like a beacon, lighting up the future, but reflected also on the past in the guise of fond memories.” Honore de Balzac

I hope for you a lovely Mother’s Day, either with your mother, your mother-in-law, or with your children. If you can’t be with them, make sure they know how you feel.

love and blessings~dd
