Wandering thoughts of the day

While doing some grocery shopping this morning I allowed my mind to wander..... (the deli line was long), what kind of parent am I?  Really......I know I am a mother that loves her children and would do anything for them but deep down who am I as a mother?  I watched my 11 year old spring around the market collecting things we needed on our list.......while I waited for the deli counter to finish my order...... Each item my son brought back, his eyes full of pride as he carefully placed things he found in the cart - it came to me!  I am a mother who stands next to her children in life walking beside them through thick and thin.  I am a homeschooling parent, a military mom, a deserving mother to two wonderful children....That's who I am!!!!    As the deli girl asked me "can I get you anything else today miss?"  I replied with a lump in my throat "no thank you I have everything I need"........I do have everything I need and so don't my children - we have the understand that we have each other and I am perfectly fine with that.  I will think of this as a typical day at the market, or will I?
