mothers...

Ahhh today is Mother's Day. It's an interesting day for a lot of us. For most they celebrate their own mothers or being mothers themselves. For some they are remembering a mother that has passed or just might not be in their lives. For me it hits me two ways....
First and foremost to celebrate my own mother. I have to say I was way way blessed in this department. My mom is the most amazing woman I know, I continue to learn from her even into adulthood. My Mom and I have such a bond that we can most times know what each other is thinking or finish sentences. Yes scary I know. Through every step of my life, whether good or bad, Mom has been a constant rock in my life. I remember when I was still out in Arizona and I was going through my divorce. It was a really icky time as not only was I going through the divorce but he was heavy into his addiction and I was trying to help. I was talking to her on a weekday and I think she just knew in my voice that I needed her. She flew out for a long weekend and I just remember feeling so re-charged after that. We laughed and cried and did some shopping along the way, several things that we are known for. She is always there when I need her...no matter how far. I have learned over the years that I really am extremely lucky to have a Mom like her because some people have very difficult mothers to deal with. I truly thank God every day for His gift.
Secondly on this day I can't help but feel a little sadness for not being a Mom yet. I know that in time it will work out however it works out. Whether I have a child naturally or be able to be a part of someone else's life. I don't really worry about it but there are days where I have a tinge of sadness and wish that I could experience that true love that a mother has for their child.
To all my friends, family and other mother figures that I have had in my own life...I wish you a fabulous day!! Full of relaxation and remembering how loved you are!
