That's me this year - and certainly there have been other years when we haven't been able to get together. And many years when Dave and I weren't able to be with our moms to hug them in person. It's what happens when your "kids" grow up.....when you grow up and move away to live your own lives.
For me, today it is a little "blue"...and for some reason the memories of Mothers Days when our son and daughter were little creep back in. I recall one specific celebration at a park probably somewhere in Wisconsin or New Jersey where we had a Mothers Day breakfast at a picnic table. We'd packed up a quiche and some fruit and probably some sweet stuff and sat around on a lovely day and enjoyed the family morning. I can see it in my mind's eye. Sweet stuff indeed!
These were the two kids that made me a mother......and, like every other new mother I didn't get any "practice". You just jump in the deep end and hope you do most things right.
And seeing them today, as accomplished adults raising families of their own....I think, while not perfect....I got most of the mothering part right. Love and hugs to both my "kids"!
