All I can say is wow…I’m “mom” this week while my wife cares for our newborn baby, Samantha. My other girls, as excited as they are about their new baby sister, continue to have very busy lives that require the Donaldson Shuttle bus to depart constantly from our home base.

Like a scene from Driving Miss Daisy, I carefully drive as they sit in the back and are carted around town to 2 different schools, dance lessons, sleep overs, sporting events and a myriad of other after school activities.  I find humor in this because I run a Courier company that delivers “time-sensitive packages” but can’t imagine having to manage this eventful process every day (but in my defense, my delivery packages don’t know every Hannah Montana song).

What’s amazing to me is that not only does she normally do all of this for our daughters, but my wife has a job of her own as well.  So, my blog this week is all about how great moms are. It’s time to give them more credit for what they manage, how busy they are and how they make it look so seamless.

The Donaldson Ladies

So, thank you to my wife for being such a great mom and making it look so easy. I know that it is a handful and I am forever grateful for all of your sacrifices. And, thank you to my mother for all of her sacrifices over the years. I understand how much work and love it takes to keep a family going and that strength, devotion and patience will pay off for generations.

Until Next Time,
Eric
