We spent this weekend in Xi'an and had a wonderful time. Maybe not your typical Mother's Day. . . but then again when have we been typical. Last night (Mother's Day evening in China) we called each of our Moms from the train to wish them a happy Mother's day. Though we got to talk with each of them briefly, it was wonderful to pass on well-wishes. And fun because since they knew that we would be traveling neither of them expected a call from us. I don't really get into the "Hallmark-y" holidays, but I think the exception might have to be Mother's Day. I think that Moms can be the most under-appreciated people. They do so much and it is usually done quietly in the background. Kind of like stage managers, quietly orchestrating things behind the scenes. Andy and I have been blessed with exceptional Moms. So, I just want to thank each of them.
Mom, thank you for always believing in me and giving of yourself to both David and I. Thank also for being so faithful in our communication (especially since our move). I also greatly appreciate how you take time with each of our kids.
Duease, thank you for raising such an exceptional son. He is such a great husband and father and I know that a big part of that is because of you. I also treasure my relationship with you. You are such a blessing in my life!
Thank you each for supporting and loving us, even when our dreams took us so far away from you. You are each wonderful and I know that we wouldn't be the people we are without your influence. We love you!
