Rise Up

Mark the date and time!

Rhett, the youngest grandson, the 2-year-old, the one who used to treat me like the babysitter when I showed up at his home because he knew it meant mama was leaving and then would run screaming to his mama… Rhett is asleep in the next room, here at Gaga's house! Of course, it took his older brother, Maseo, spending the night at Gaga's to get him to consider it, but he's here. And he's asleep in the next room and Gaga is a happy Gaga.

Of course that leads up to this song because I just caught up with this week's episode of Grey's Anatomy and the custody battle between Arizona and Callie and it's hard. My heart hurts for little Sofia. My heart hurts for them all.

And then I think of my baby boys in the next room and I cry tears of gratefulness and then I pray for them and their mama and dada. I love my babies, all of them. And I am grateful that I can be called a mom and Gaga. I am truly blessed this Mother's Day and I pray you are blessed this Mother's Day as well.

All we need, all we need is hope.

And we will rise.
