Just to get this out of the way
Mother's Day - my baby = CONFUSION
(and some more weird feelings).
Mother's Day is to the childless as Valentine's Day is to the single. I was really hoping not to have to endure another Mother's Day in this category and yet I find myself in a more difficult one. The in between. Not childless and yet not exactly with child either.
I always feel guilty at church for taking a flower which the primary children hand out to all the Mothers. This might actually stem from the time a child gave me one and then asked for it back because there wasn't enough for the Mothers in the ward, but I digress...
Sunday I am going to choose to be happy.
And I am going to allow myself to revel, laugh, cry, completely come unglued, in order to get there. I need to put this in words to hold myself accountable. I wouldn't write it unless I knew it was possible.
So watch out Mother's Day- this year I am celebrating.

You are a Mother.
You are a mother! You're a great mother. Just because you are away from her right now doesn't take away your title.
I don't even know what to write. Just I love you. And I feel that is completely okay to "revel, laugh, cry and become completely unglued".
good on ya!
