I really couldn&#8217;t have been happier (or more touched) if Elena had handed me a $100 bill, and I couldn&#8217;t help but feel very blessed: for having such a wonderful little baby, for having found a loving and caring babysitter and &#8211; most of all &#8211; for being a mom. <\/p>\n<p>-M<\/p>\n<p>PS &#8211; I should note that this wasn&#8217;t even Zoe&#8217;s first gift to me.
