A Special Day

I had the pleasure of joining Isiah for his Mother's Day Tea at school. He and his classmates performed Springtime and Mother's Day songs, followed by a short picnic the mothers shared with the children. Seeing the smile on his face and excitement in his eyes to share that moment with me will stay with me forever. As he gets older and begins to conceptualize "his" family, I cherish the love he shares with me.

It's a warm surprise everytime I'm reminded that we are family, regardless of biology. Amongst the class' painings of their mothers, Isiah pointed out his painting to me...of me...
