I Hit The Jackpot

Somewhere out there I am sure that the winning lottery ticket holder will be raking in millions of dollars divided out in yearly installments.  And The Publishers Clearing House is ready to knock on some unknowing subscibers door, to deliver the big cardboard check and celebratory balloons.  And they will have really "Hit The Jackpot". They will be rich overnight.
Well I am here to tell you that I have hit the Jackpot of Life.  I am holding the preverbial cardboard check, and it is payable to  Margi Conley Jackman in the amount of....wait for it......a gazillion dollars in BLESSINGS
Twenty some years ago when my first name became "Mommy" "Ryan, Ally & Brad's Mom" I was sure that they would be little forever.  I was sure that I would never sleep through the night.  I would never get all the grass stains out of their clothes.  The pediatrician seemed like family as often as we were there.  He was on speed dial. The three of them would always be little enough that they would love me No Matter What.  And I would never get tired of hearing little prayers at night thanking Heavenly Father for Mommy and Daddy, a brand new swingset and chocolate cupcakes. Being happy and grateful is easy when you are little and...LOVED.
They would surely always be little, and they would absolutely always love me more than the swingset, the chocolate cupcake and koolaid.  Isn't the plan that Mommy is the "go to girl" when they have a secret, a skinned up knee, or a bad dream.  I am sure that every monster in the closet or under the bed knew there was no place in my home for them.  I was truely the "Slayer"  of all things that would hurt my kids. I might have had a super hero cape in pink.
Well now Twenty some years later, most of the time I am just Mom.  Sometimes "Lady" but always thier number one fan.  I now sleep through the night, my laundry is always done, and I am not sure that my doctor even knows my first name.  I would still be a "SLAYER" of all things that could hurt my children, but I know that they must live and learn, just like me and their dad did. And that is hard to do when you are used to being the "Slayer" but I do my very best 98% of the time.
I am still Ryan Ally and Brad's mom, and that makes me rich.  But I also am Mother In Law to Kameron, Melanie and almost Amy.  And so now I am richer.  Hence "The Jackpot" 
Kameron treats my Ally like a queen.  He is now the "slayer" of all things bad.  He loves her to distraction and is never afraid to show her. He completes Ally. They were meant To Be.
Melanie is crazy madly in love with Ryan. She is his rock and his anchor on this journey they call Medical school.  She is his other half. Home is where ever Melanie is for Ryan. They Belong together.
And Amy is Brad's soulmate.  She is the love of his life, and his future.  Amy is the reason for his smile now.  She loves him completely. And he is safe with her.  Together is a perfect place to be.
So you see.. what more could a Mom ask for?  I have hit the Jackpot.  My three little ones are all grow'd up and they have chosen so wisely. Theirs is a journey of love, adventure and family.
And what makes me so rich? Well, this Mom still gets to wipe away tears, hear their secrets, celebrate their happiness and share a cupcake with all six of them. Ryan, Ally and Brad are safe and complete with Melanie Kameron and Amy.
And me..I sleep through night now and never forget to be grateful for children who love me.
Yea I hit the Jackpot and I am the richest girl you know.
