Although, if we're retired, we can visit more easily.

You sound like my dad by saying `keep your expectations low so you're not disappointed' :) I feel like I've totally lowered my expectations but maybe I need to go further? OR, maybe next year Gary can help direct them to write down some sweet thoughts?! I do miss the preschool cards, hopefully Nya makes one next year. I love that you have a poem that you wrote for your mom. <br />Louise Chapmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15052576071967823728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612254.post-33463596036389509892015-05-11T11:35:42.159-07:002015-05-11T11:35:42.159-07:00You are a great mom Louise, your kids are lucky to...You are a great mom Louise, your kids are lucky to have you!!Katrina Volkenanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03180235473321517124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21612254.post-65461320260665955942015-05-11T11:10:34.764-07:002015-05-11T11:10:34.764-07:00I love that you restrict who your kids can marry -...I love that you restrict who your kids can marry - but only by location.

Here were the words I received from my three sons: "Happy Mother's Day" (2 sons via text) and one "Happy Mother's Day" in a phone call! I have very low expectations for Mother's Day and then I'm not disappointed!! I do have a few cute cards saved that they did at school when they were little. (but no poems quite as catchy as the one, Laura above, got!) I have a poem saved that I wrote for my mother when I was 10 years old. The ending was "and even though you're 41, you look as young as any mom!"

I think that watching my two girls interact with each other has brought some healing for me in terms of the passing of my sister. <br />My words of affirmation were in a poem.
