I did not have time to do anything special to honor my mom today... but ya know what, that's okay. I remember her in my heart each and every day and that is enough. She has been on my mind the last couple days so although I didn't spread any ashes or light a candle or plant a flower for her today I remembered her, thought of her, loved her. Happy Mom's Day Mom.
I did take time though to make my sister a card and get her flowers, she has always been there for me, even when she was a child herself and I love her for it, and for everything else she is, on Mother's day and every day.
And as I said earlier we went to see Christina tonight to celebrate this day with her. We took her a plant and a card and took her for dinner at our favorite pizza place and had a visit. I know that I am lucky to have her in my life as well. She has opened my eyes a little since I have known her, taught me to be a little more open to different things, different people, different food, other cultures and a life lived outside of the box. But most of all I am thankful that she gave birth to and raised the wonderful human being that I am lucky enough to call my husband. I know that Brendan wouldn't be the man he is if not for her - Paul gets a little credit too ;) - and I am so thankful for both of them.
