While I wish all moms (and grandmas) a very happy day, I realize this is a bittersweet time for some–toxic and dysfunctional maternal relationships don’t conjure up flowers and breakfast in bed, and I understand.
It makes me sad to think that there are so many children (and adults) who are in pain especially on Mother’s Day because they didn’t get the mom they wanted and needed –that’s our most primal bond–we literally were joined to each other by our umbilical cord–we are forever connected. No matter what.
I learned so much about how to be a mom from my mom–she was truly amazing.
Happy Mother’s Day to the original Charlotte. I still miss her every day.
Happy Mother’s Day to you! What a lovely photo of your mom.

My guys celebrated me with the usual flowers, a card, and a food gift, and I treated myself to a few necklaces with crystals in the pendants. Side effects of my second vaccination began to set in as I walked around a beautiful crystal store, and I got home in time to crawl into bed while chills, fever, aches, sweats, etc. hit me. Today is better, but still a bit tired and not nearly so sore.

I’m glad you’re done with the vaccines and I hope the boosters don’t have the same side effects! It sounds like a lovely Mother’s Day though and I’m so happy for you!
