It Happened On Mother's Day
Permalink  

My husband brought me fresh cut lilacs and had coffee already made.  
The day was beautiful with sunshine and spring in the air.
I called Mother and wished her a happy mother's day and asked her, if she could have done it all over again knowing what she does now or chosen to be a famous movie star instead which would she choose, she replied have each and everyone of us all over again.
I invited both sons over for pizza dinner, eaten on paper plates so no dishes for me.
The grandson arrived with more lilacs freshing picked and let me kiss him in gratitude.
My granddaughter carried in home made cherry cheese cake she and her mother made for me.
My youngest son arrived clean shaven, freshly showered with a lovely card which read how much he appreciated having me as a friend and mother.  As I read the card aloud, it brought tears to both his eyes and mine.  You see, just less then 5 yrs ago he was an active A.  He's come so far, I'm so proud.  I enjoy and appreciate each and every day.  
My oldest son arrived with a lovely card in hand, it was cute and funny...he leaned down to give me a big mothers day hug...I was again shocked to realize what a big man he's become so very tall and handsome with huge shoulders.  
You see, just a few months ago we almost lost him to active drinking.  I'm so very blessed and so very thankful to have him alive and in a program today.  
Just for today I used my Live and Let Live slogan.  I practiced my One Day at a Time.   We didn't discuss their programs or their sobriety.  I'm so very grateful for having found my program so that I could live to see this day.  
So the next time you ask yourself, when is it my turn?
When will I have one of those happy days or moments?
Know with lots of Alanon program....plenty of prayers... believing in miracles...and counting my blessings...staying out of their business...I can honestly say...I had mine today.  
Thank you HP!!
Thank you Alanon Program members!!
Thank you for all who read to the end!!
It does get better... no matter what you are going through...this too shall pass.  
It happened today ...I'm counting my blessings.

Thank you for this wonderful post.  It brought tears of joy to my eyes.  Hooooray! for you and your loving family.

"Glad" says we should follow your lead, and post our best moments.  So, so true.  Attitude is everything.  And a positive one, if allowed to flourish, always prevails.

Thanks again,

Diva
