426. A husband who constantly encourages me to "Give myself away"!
427. That act of "giving" saving us from much grief and disappointment this year on Mother's Day (in terms of expectations being met or not)
428. A 4 year old saying at the end of the day. "Mom is there anything else we can do for you today?", without being prompted. A servant's heart at it's purist.
429. A friend who makes herself desperately vulnerable and transparent in terms of her struggles as a mother and as an adoptive mother. Two roles that are both the same and very different, all at once!
430. The completion of five "chapters" of my life.
431. The freedom that comes with being able to put those chapters into black and white.
432. A friend who will go hide in her bathroom and deny her children snacks so that she can read and recall those chapters of my life.
433. New chapters to come!
