It's Mother's Day today. The weather is gray, gloomy, a bit misty and drizzly, temp is 57 degrees. It doesn't feel much like a Mother's Day should. On top of that my husband is sick, my daughter has to work, and my son is spending the remainder of the day with his girlfriend. My husband did a wonderful job at making me feel special and important under the circumstances of not feeling well. He got up, made a big pot of coffee, cinnamon rolls and made sure I awoke to pretty spring flowers and a card. I'm very lucky. My kids also gave me a nice card and made sure I knew they loved me and even gave me a shout out via social media. I love them all so much.
Mom is on my mind all day every Mother's Day which I'm sure is the case for anyone who no longer has their mother. Growing up I don't remember ever really doing anything special for Mom on Mother's Day. Only as an adult do I recall paying special attention to either one of my parents on Mother's or Father's Day and I can't think of two people who were more deserving special attention on those days more than my mom and dad. I sure do wish I could spend more time with both of my parents and not because I didn't spend much time with them when they were alive. I'm sure there were times where they probably wished I would leave them alone...ha! As an adult I enjoyed spending time with them.
I'm dedicating this post to all mom's who do so much for the ones they love. My mom never stopped being a mom even though she wasn't able to be the mom she wanted to be. Always loving, supportive no matter what, reliable, a wonderful mentor, smart, pretty, polite, funny, fun, adventurous, loved to travel especially to the beach, strict when she needed to be, a hippie, fair (even though I didn't always think so when I was younger), a "teacher", an excellent cook but couldn't make Jell-o to save her life, young at heart always, very strong in every way, and full of willpower.
Here are a few special moments with Mom and other special people.
