This week my favorite story actually began with sadness – which could almost be an alternate six word life story for me. I was coming from a meeting at work when I felt the unbelievable Mommy urge to go see my boy. This happens often, but this time it had more urgency. I walked into daycare and found Teacher Regina cuddling Brendan on the bench in the entry way. She asked if I had gotten her message – I hadn’t. She had just called to tell me that Brendan woke up from his nap incredibly sad. That’s not a normal occurrence for him. He slithered right into my arms and we held each other tight. He didn’t want to talk for a while, but eventually I discovered that he had a bad dream. We decided to take a walk. We went to see the yoda fountain and climb on some rocks – and then he wanted to go see Daddy. We got all the way to Daddy’s office (he wanted to be carried the whole time… still not himself) and found that sadly, Daddy wasn’t there. We hung out for a little while hoping he would return, but finally decided to walk back to class. He was very excited because I told him that on the way back we could stop and get a treat a Java the Hutt. When we got there, he looked at all the choices and decided that he wanted to get a cookie for Daddy. I let him pick one, and then asked what he would like – but all he wanted to get was the cookie for Daddy. Brendan loves cookies, but he didn’t even ask for a bite, he only asked that I keep it safe until we could give it to Daddy. I almost cried. My baby woke up very sad, and the thing that made him feel better was picking out a treat for someone he loves. It reminded me a little bit about when his Daddy and I were first dating – Rob called to tell me that he had an awful day. I said that we could just talk the next day if he wanted, and he said, “I was actually going to ask if I could make you dinner”. I will never forget how I felt as I went over to his house, and found a table set with a basket of chips, some salsa and two beers. He sat me down to snack and we flirted while he made me quesidillas. I probably had an inkling I’d marry him right at that moment. So anyway, I have wonderful men in my life – and Brendan did end up sharing that cookie with Daddy on the way home, but his biggest smile came not from eating it, but from the moment he got to present it to Daddy. Mommy’s heart can’t take beauty like that.
And then there was the evening we got home from work and as Brendan got out of the car, he said – “OH! We drove right over the Sunshine!”. He was really looking at something, and repeated himself again. When I went in close to look, I realized that there was a bright sunbeam on our driveway, and the only thing blocking it was Mommy’s car. It looked like we had driven right over the sunshine.

When I took the puppy on her walk this morning, I was presented with pure magic: the sunrise illuminated rain drops all over a hillside of tall bright green grass, and low puffy clouds hovered around the little valley of our neighborhood below. And then, as if straight out of a children’s book, a rainbow emerged from the clouds. Perfection. Except the rest of my family wasn’t there to share it with me. But when I went to visit at school today: rain that suddenly cleared and gave way to rainbows (and outside play time!) for me and my boy. On the way home: all three of us in the car together saw more and more rainbows. They were everywhere today. A little sun, a little rain – and one little boy who let me view my world through rainbow colored glasses. Because it’s my favorite story, and it couldn’t have started without a little sadness.

I have been trying to justify the ‘when life gives you lemons’ bracelet from Kate Spade to celebrate my 9 year survival anniversary, but I realized that’s not quite my thing. Life didn’t just give me a bunch of lemons – life gave me a whole bunch of sunshine, and some rain too – and that’s how I found my rainbow. Sorry Kate Spade, but I’m going to need a rainbow collection: STAT.
