Today Ro had his mother's day event & I nearly missed it. Forgot to put it on my calendar. Rutha called yesterday at 5 pm saying "Mom Rohun is really worried that you will not come to his school tomorrow - he kept talking about it all the time - so just wanted to warn you - he seems worried he will be the only kid without his mother there".
I avoided a response but finally told him I may not be able to make it since I had a meeting that would be hard to change. He was crying softly - copious tears at bed time & wouldn't tell me why for a while - then said its because I cannot come to his mother's day event at school - so I told him I will check my meeting time & let you know. By the time I logged on & checked the agenda & found out that my part only began at 11 & I can make it he was fast asleep. When I told him this am - in his half sleepy state he had a big smile on his face. Glad I went though - it was very nice & he was clearly v happy that I was there. The kids sang a song, then each one read what they wrote on a cloth napkin & gave it with a beautiful rose to their moms - brought tears to my eyes! There was a prettily decorated table with bagels & fruit & a lovely card. Could not wait for the play but that was OK.
I am so thankful that I did not miss it!! Among the saddest things about kids growing up are the tender stages they leave behind, never to return. I made his day today & he made mine!!
