Mother's Day

Around 6:30AM on Sunday, I heard the patter of little feet going down the stairs. Since Oksana and Nikolai are a little scared to head down alone, I figured it was Vitaly.

I got up and saw Nikolai coming back up the stairs. In his hands, he held two papers, as he smiled proudly at me!

“Happy Mother’s Day, Mommy!” He happily exclaimed, as he opened the papers and began to read a story he had written for me. As a tear came to my eye, I felt blessed that I have been chosen, to be his mom.
