Extraordinary Day

So I woke up the other day and it seemed like it would be a plain ol' ordinary day. Not a Bad Day, mind you, just a regular, run-of-the-mill day. And then, in the course of this generic, average day, my 19-year-old son sent me a hastily composed message that contained this sentence: "This tattoed boy loves you more than youll ever know." And with a click of a mouse, ordinary became extraordinary.

Motherhood. What a kick.
