No. No, they did not.
But they did. Liam and Emerson come back through with their arms full of Mother’s Day presents.
I love it, because I can tell which ones Brady wrapped, which ones Liam wrapped, and which ones Emerson tried to bite into to tear the paper.
I open them all, one by one, admiring both the thought and effort it took to put into all of this. I’m fighting tears.
“Liam, this necklace is beautiful,” I say, dangling a locket with our family picture inside. “Did you pick the photo?”
He nods. “It’s my favorite picture of all of us,” he says. It’s of the day we came home from the hospital with Emerson. My heart is so full.
Also among the slew of presents is a new clipboard for work, a couple of perfumes, a new sun hat and sunglasses, a pair of shoes, and a charm bracelet with a B, L, and E.
“Thank you, boys. You’re just so amazing. I couldn’t ask for a better family. I have the best one right here,” I say, nearly bawling.
“That’s not all,” Brady announces. He passes along a crushed velvet box. Inside is a pair of gold, diamond-studded earrings.
“These are breathtaking, Brady! I’m going to put them in right now,” I say. He reaches down and lifts the tray from my lap, and I quickly stand and hurry over to my vanity.
Once they’re in, Brady approaches me from behind. He wraps his big, strong arms around my waist and kisses my neck.
“You can have your real present when the boys go to bed later,” he whispers in my ear.
Even after several years, Brady Thomas knows just how to make me melt.
Seconds after, Liam and Emerson rush over and hug me from both sides. I look into the mirror, and I see the happiest, most perfect family reflected back at me.
