May 11 is mothers day for 2008.I was lucky to be asked by my kids what I want for mother's day.My eyes were filled with tears of love , for how many moms can be as lucky as me?

A few years back when my little one was 5 yrs old, she asked me for a nice empty box.
I wanted to know what she wanted it for.

The answer was usual."Nothing"
So I gave her an empty bangle box which I was going to throw anyway.

Her eyes lit up and she thanked me profusely.Strange, very strange I thought.

The next few days the child spent hours together decorating her box . She stuck stars, mirrors, glitter, bows, all sort of stuff on the box.
It was getting prettier day by day.

Then she started drawing little pics with her crayons
She drew a white box, and called it washing machine.,
then she drew a blue oblong shape with a long trunk like an elephant, called it vacume cleaner,
Then she drew a red basket and called it clothes basket!
I was observing all this but knew not what to make of it.

Then she asked me if I could give her drawing paper, ruler and pens!
With her tongue sticking out , she made up a few tables and asked me for scissors to cut them into little squares.

After she had all the little squares she wrote simple messages on them with her childish hand
"For one use only"
Then she took a little bunch of these one use tokens, and pinned them to the washing machine, vacume cleaner and clothes basket labels

All those things went in the box.

She made me a nice mothers day card.

Like a typical kid drawing, it had a home under a rainbow, with the sun shinning and rain poring down the mountain top, birds were flying, the sky was blue, there was a rushing river, our house was under the stars, with the dog, the cat, and fish in the river, and the kids were out in the garden dancing happily with both arms stretched out in glee! Big grin on their faces too. And a bright sunflower nodding happily .

Our home so cute! What a great picture!

She had even written her message for me:

My mother takes care of me, she gives me food and takes my studies and looks after me when I am sick.I love her very much.

This is my gift to her.She can use one coupan every time she wants me to help her wash the cloths, fold them and put them in the cupboard and clean the house.Your loving daughter!

On that mother's day my Tweety gave me the best gift of all! I still have all those coupans in that gift box, and every mothers day I take them out, look at them and cry! but never ever do I feel like using my copans!

There was no need.Tweety already helped me whenever she could! I want to thank her for being my loving daughter.

And a big Thanks to all the little kids who make us loving mothers!
