Being the Mom of an only gives us a world where lots of other kids become part of our "family." I love that these kids want to spend time with us. When our next door neighbors were younger I would get so excited to hear a knock on my back door. A knock on the back door meant that I had an opportunity to give them a special treat! Popsicles! Yes, a yummy frozen treat! A Popsicle! Today happens to be my Mom's birthday. Feeling sad that I'm not able to be there with her on that special day makes my day a little melancholy. As we were chatting on the phone Mom gets a knock on HER back door. It's her next door neighbor, Bubby. I grew up with his Daddy and his Aunts. When Mom answers and says, "Hello, Bubby, how are you?" Bub replies that he's there for a Popsicle! Yes, you heard me! A yummy frozen treat! A Popsicle! Bub is a beautiful, sweet young boy with the most sweet voice. His trip to her back door made my day! I laughed so hard! I know that Mom's birthday will be wonderful with well wishes, gifts and celebration. But to me, the greatest gift she will receive is the knock on her back door! My Mom rocks!
