This is a tough day for me, it has been for a few years now. It's just another reminder of how much I miss my mom and how far away I feel from her. I'm comforted knowing that I have my siblings to stand by me, knowing they're going through the same thing- so I don't feel completely nuts. I'm also comforted by my family, my sweet husband and my crazy kids. Mother's day hasn't been as difficult since I became a mom, on the other hand sometimes it makes it harder, I really wish I could watch her with my kids, I wish they could meet her. I hope through me they'll know what a wonderful, loving woman she was.
I have a wonderful mother-in-law and stepmom and they have been so completely supportive of me and my family. They've been a wonderful Nana and Grammy and my children are crazy about them. I want them to know how much I love and appreciate them and although I still feel a crazy twinge of jealousy when I see my friends with their children and their mothers, I know I'm loved by these women. I don't think I can ever say what that truly means to me, I don't think I'll ever realize how much it means to have them.
It's hard without a mom, you think stuff like, "who's gonna call me when I'm sick to make sure I'm better?" or "how will I ever learn to cook turkey?" Seriously, I think these things, I'm sure the turkey thing will come one day....I'm babbling.
Thank you Bonnie and Cathy for loving me, thank you for holding and loving my children the way I always pictured my mom doing it. Thank you for glowing at them with the same pride I always saw in my mom's eyes, you can't possibly know what that means to me. I love you!
Anyway, here are my mother's day memories for this year, I love the card from Ethan. I can't believe how right on he is about everything!
My beautiful heart necklace from my babies and hubby.
My beautiful garbage can that matches my red phone....have you ever seen something more beautiful?
And yummy cookies.
And yummy cookie dough.
Happy Mother's Day!

Ok you make me sad thinking about your mama. I love and miss her too. What a cute note from your boy!! I would LOVE to weigh 0 pounds!!
I am sorry that Mother's Day is hard for you. You know what? I had my mom until I was 41 and I miss her almost daily. At least we have the knowledge we will be with them again. I'm sorry for your loss, both your losses, I really am.
I'm glad that you know my mom loves you--all of you! She prayed for more children her whole life, and when she found your dad and all of you--well, she knew her prayers had been answered. You truly are an answer to many prayers. She loves you all so much. I understand that, because that's how much I loved your dad. You and your siblings are easy to love! And I love you because of so many things--one of them being how you treat my mom. You're awesome!
