Mother's Day

Dear Max and Maggie,

I used to call my mom to wish her a happy mother's day and she would go on and on about how grateful she was for me and my siblings rather than letting me tell her how grateful I was for her. I never understood it. But I do now. I love being a mom! And I love that I get to be your mom! I think you two are the best things in the whole world! I feel silly having a day to honor me as a mom because I feel like it is my privilege to be a mom, not something I should be thanked or appreciated for.  I feel so honored that I get to have you. I love you both so much! Thanks today and everyday for being my kids and making motherhood such a wonderful thing for me!

I love you!!!

Mom

Max protecting Maggie against Dan. Max is generally a good brother to Maggie but lately he has been feeling smothered by all her loving. She follows him everywhere. He doesn't want to share. True sibling defending her. "She's my brother."
