Surprise Daybrightener

I am choked up nearly to tears again. Damn hormones. :P

I am working with clay this morning, and I went to plug my little oven in to heat it up. I knew the tray in the oven had a few pieces on it that two of the boys had put there, so I would bake them to paint, when I got a chance. I have been busy, and hadn't got around to it, until today. Anyway, I pulled the little tray out, and there was a third piece that I didn't know about...a plaque that had pretty beads embedded around the perimeter, and in the middle it said, " I love you Mom", and it was signed and dated by my oldest. 

I live for beautiful sweet surprises like that!!!
