Mother's Day was very hard this year. I felt torn between two worlds all day. I miss my mom so much, and it felt especially hard on Mother's Day. I wanted so badly to be able to talk to her, and I just felt sorrow. And at the same time, I was so happy to be Mom to my incredible kids. I love being their mom, and I felt such joy for who they are and how much I genuinely enjoy each of them. It was difficult to feel both joy and sorrow so strongly at the same time, all day long.
Paul had a delicious Mediterranean salad ready for lunch.
I ate it out on the deck and then enjoyed reading my book.
Which eventually turned into a nap. :)
And then Paul and the kids brought out some gifts for me. I love the "all about Mom" questionnaires they fill out every year.
Rockwell and Tessa got me some of my favorite treats and Damon got me some great smelling soap. Paul got me a Barnes & Noble gift card, some treats, and I've been shopping for some new clothes lately.
I just love them so much!!
Paul made a delicious dinner.
We ended the night playing a game. Paul and the kids made it a great day for me, even though I was crying all throughout the day too.
