Mother’s Day / Mothers Who May
Happy Mother’s Day to all, and of course to my very own lovely Mom! I am very lucky!
I am extra lucky too – Jeff got me beautiful flowers yesterday, and a few dear people sent me thoughtful cards. And Jack and Laureen celebrated with us yesterday too. Way too sweet. I dreamt I went swimming with our daughter last night and it was pretty darn amazing. (She was a really good swimmer, FTR.) I still often can’t believe how lucky we are. It’s going to be incredible to meet her in a few short weeks.
But, importantly – extra thoughts today to those whose moms are no longer with them; those moms whose babies are no longer on this Earth; and those who so very much want to be moms but for whatever reason are still waiting, waiting, waiting. Hang in there. This can be a tricky day.
ETA: happy belated FIRST birthday to Ryan! Can’t believe I missed that on Fri. I’ve been slacking on birthdays, sorry man.
