Last week I was up in Sacramento for Mothers Day. It was great to spend the day with my mom, my sister and my nieces. Girls rock!
And if that wasn't fun enough I also got to visit with one of my very best friends at her parents house. It was so fun to see our kids enjoy each other. (Eating chips and salsa while sipping margaritas by the pool wasn't too bad either!) I hope this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship for these two.
I couldn't help but reflect on the mother daughter relationship a little bit after all this sweet girl time. It is slowly occurring to me all the things that I will be able to share with Sydney because she is a girl. What a life long blessing! I think this has been slow coming to me because I am one of 5 girls in my family... sooo since there were no boys my Dad did boy stuff with all of us girls. Which is why this whole time I was envisioning us enjoying together the things I enjoyed as a kid like hiking, bike rides, playing ball, climbing trees, body surfing, etc. But how sweet it will be to share in the other things too. As I was pondering all of this I was reminded of the Irish saying, "A son is a son till he takes him a wife, a daughter is a daughter all of her life." Amen!
