On the first Mother’s Day after my Mom passed away, my
sister and I were in Chapters and I bought a book about motherless daughters. I
also gave Mother’s Day cards to every mom-friend I knew. But I do not remember being sad…looking back
it seems a little pathetic.
I was asked by one of
my friends if Mother’s Day was hard for me?
I actually had to think about it and I realized it is not. It is not that I do not miss my Mom and yes
Mother’s Day would be a time to think of her but I think of her every
day.
I do remember bringing breakfast in bed for my Mom that was
our tradition. Now I have children and
we have a family Mother’s Day tradition with Jeff’s family. That is my focus. I love my kids so much and am so grateful to be a mom. Breton is me only better and Daphne is so opposite me in some ways I wonder where did she get all her outgoingness but I love every bit of both of them. They make my mothering look good:)
Everyone today should give their Mom a squeeze and a kiss
and tell her you love her.

I was just thinking about our Mother's Day traditions at 10 Larsen , Layla with some help (or interferance from the boys) made me crepes I am so very lucky as well to have such wonderful children. Like you said not a day goes by I don't miss Mom, but how lucky we were to have such a wonderful role model. Happy Mother's day the job is not easy but very much worth it!
Beautiful
