Happy Mother's day and Happy Birthday to Me!

I have 2 reasons to celebrate today. I'm turning 26 right now and of course today is Mother's day. Yep, that's 2 reasons alright.. I'm not sure if I will be able to enjoy  this day due to some reasons: (1) We're still here in the hospital taking care of my baby, (2) I have a flu since yesterday and (3)it's liquor ban. I already greeted my mom and my grandlola. I thought that this is the loneliest day for me this year. But my mom's statement struck me today. She told me that being a mother is all about sacrifice. I paused for a moment and realized that she was right. I shouldn't be sulking the entire day just beacuse we are still detained here in Medical City waiting for the doctor's go signal that Clyde can already be discharged so that we can all go home. I became sick not because of stress at work but due to a virus that I got from my baby. At least I can say it's a sign that I was and will always  be beside him. It's ok that I won't be getting any gifts just as long as I will be able to provide for his medication and that I will be able to complete his Shrek toy collection at McDonald's. Right now I've realized that I'm gonna enjoy this day after all. I may not be able to throw a party but at least I'm here with my family. I thank God for giving us Clyde. He's the reason for my existence of being a mother. Happy mother's day to all the mothers out there!!!
