Happy Mothers Day, friend. I hope you had a wonderful day. Mother's day for me this year was almost everything you wouldn't want it to be. We had a nice service at church Sunday morning and flowers were passed out. But, I didn't get that special dinner, I didn't have my kids all around me for the day. I didn't get all that usual attention on Mother's Day. "Worse yet" I had to work that day. We rotate Sundays where I work and mine was on Mother's Day. That could be a real bummer, too. But it really wasn't.
The day before was my youngest son's graduation. All our "stateside" kids were there. They took a moment to share cards and gifts with Mom; AND we shared the whole day together. When we got home from graduation, I had an email from the other 'kid' with pictures and greetings.
So - yeah - I had a wonderful Mother's day - spent time with my family - saw or heard from all my kids - got cards and gifts - and a rose at church. It was just spread over Saturday and into Sunday morning and not your usual, typical kind of day. But that didn't really matter. What matters is family, love, remembrance and time together.
I hope yours was special in your own unique way.
