Its Mother's Day, always something of a challenge for me. My mother and I have never had a good relationship. Even so, I love her, and I know she loves me. I stopped being angry with her a long time ago, and we can be in the same space without bad feelings on either side. Still, I struggle with finding a Mother's Day card which will show my love but also speak truth.
.
This year I made my own card for her, and in it I said "I wouldn't be who I am, if you were not who you are." That's the truth, and its a good one.
.
Tonight my son is coming to cook dinner for me in honor of the day. I'm really looking forward to that.
.
I'll have a combination Mother's Day/Birthday celebration at my daughter's house on my birthday.
.
Today I am grateful for my mother, and my children.
.
peace and love,
Paper Turtle
