The Greatest Mother's Day gift

Well, I would have to say the very best gift I have ever gotten from my children is the gift of being a part of the life God has planned for them.  This year my children gave me a gift they assured me I would love and were so eager for me to open it, they were asking if I would open it on Friday.

What I opened today was a deck of cards, it was hole punched and held together by a ring.  The top card said '52 Reasons Why We Love You'.  Each card on the inside has a typed message attached with clear tape.  They were touching and funny both.  They were like a reflection of our lives, how I love to live simple, enjoying what we have while we have it,  and it quite possibly the best material gift I have received. They worked together for the majority, and each one had a specific card.  Here are the reasons I am loved:
