Big hugs and thanks for sharing your story <3 Family relationships seem so hard and I've never understood why that is, or why it is that some people's families seem so close and their support of each other so effortless. sigh... on a lighter note, my ex-husband's new girlfriend, whom I've never met, got me a beautiful, fancy farmer's market bouquet of flowers (I imagine she meant for them to be from my boys, but that part went over their 10 year old heads lol). It's a challenge, but I'm trying to deconstruct my own walls and allow myself to be touched by such acts of kindness and thoughtfulness.
I hope you have a nice Sunday comforted by all the ways Mother Nature holds us!
Thank you for sharing these memories, Becki. It’s a good reminder that any mother-daughter and mother-son relationships are not reflected in Mothers’s Day cards. Holidays like this one are sure to stir up sad memories for many. You are worthy. I’m grateful to those strong women that held you up. You are strong. Blessings to you, your son, and the many mothers before you.
