Mother's Day is coming up this weekend so of course I had to hit the local Walgreens to get some cards for the mothers in my life. Although they make for a nice gesture and I do like receiving them, sometimes giving a card can seem more like a formality than anything else. Nonetheless, I take my time to try and find the perfect card for whatever the occassion may be. As I was picking out my cards I noticed how sweet they all were. Many told the reader what a wonderful mother she is/has always been, how she has always been there, portrayed the reader as the most important person in the card-giver's life, etc... I looked at my little Claire, who was blowing raspberries at passers-by and was wriggling in my arms as I balanced her on my hip. I silently made a promise to her, and myself, that I will do everything I can to bed the kind of mother to Claire that ALL of those cards depict. I want her to think I have been the best mother ever, I have always been there for her, and that I am the most important person in her life (besides Daddy of course!).
