A different kind of Mother's Day Present

Mother's Day is always hard for me. I am thankful for my wonderful mother but I always have that time in the evening after I have spent the day with my mom where I feel sad. I was always going to have 6 kids and here I am 30 with none for many reasons. My only chance for kids was a miscarriage many years ago. I got the best Mother's Day gift I could have ever gotten by a phone call from Christian. The Friday before Mother's Day there were really bad storms in the Harrison area. The Tornado Sirens went off 8 times and from what I hear it was really bad. I was in Rogers at my cousins house which was also having bad weather. (She just moved out the this house in the country and didn't have cable tv and we couldn't find her radio so it was scary.) Christian called to make sure I was watching the weather to make sure I knew what was going on and to be safe. We talked for a couple of minutes. . . and then the storm that we had in Rogers was hitting Harrison. He also called me later to let me know they were all ok. To him, I know it was nothing he would normally call his dad but Scott was out of town. To me it meant a lot. Half the time I feel as though they don't care, don't listen and could care less what I think but for him to call and check on me let me know that I am thought of as family. His kindness helped make this Mother's Day seam not as bad.
