After hearing this story I absolutely had to post about it. It broke my heart to think of how many parents go through these exact same feelings on a daily basis.
The other day Sara, the mother of our splendid monsters, was making herself a cup of tea in the kitchen. It was a rather large mug so I proceeded to comment on it. Sara, with an enthusiastic smile on her face, explained to me that she had purchased this mug for herself a couple years ago, on her birthday. She went on to describe how it was her birthday and her husband had not gotten her a birthday present. She saw this HUGE pink mug that read " World's Greatest Mom"...and she bought it for herself. What the heck right? Someone has to encourage her! Even if it is herself!
I fell in love with this story because if you only knew Sara! Working a full time job, and then committing every single penny towards helping her two autistic kids meet their full potential. Every moment of free time spent enjoying her children and creating a positive environment for them, researching the latest therapies, diets and supplements; breaking the bank account to staff a dynamic team that helps to enforce her strategic plan. How ironic that she would have to buy herself a mug to remind her that she is the "world's greatest mom".
I don't know about you, but I am nominating her for the mom of the century award!
