Days of Thankfulness #18

Yesterday and today the bigs' school had a Thanksgiving Feast. Parents were able to join their student at lunch and enjoy a turkey plate. I love events like this. The best part of the experience is seeing the happiness on the kid's face as they scan the room to find me. Sitting with them and talking about what their day has been like so far, them showing me their bands and vest that they made, and announcing to their friends that I'm their mom. It just warms my heart. I cherish the hugs and "I Love You"s once the event is over. I'm so grateful for these moments with them. I know how lucky I am to be able to take part in these events at their schools. I try to always be there for the parties, the art shows, programs, etc. I know not every parent is able to attend these events and that one day I will not be able go to them anymore. I'm so thankful that my children still want me to be a part of their experiences at school. I'm thankful that they aren't embarrassed to let the world know I'm their mom. I'm thankful for the pure joy and excitement on their face when they finally find me in a crowd of people, knowing that I,m there. I'm truly a very lucky and Blessed woman.
