To all my friends and family who are mothers, HAPPY MOTHERS DAY! To everyone, you are sons and daughters, CALL YOUR MOTHER.
As mothers we give the greatest gift in the world, life. We all make mistakes from the point of delivery on. Yet, I know that most mothers have one goal in mind for their children: to get them to adulthood safe, sound, and ready to face the world.
I am looking forward to calling my mother. I miss my grandmother dearly. We will spend mother's day with Glenn's mom. We originally planned to take her to dinner on Saturday so that I could choose my own mother's day dinner. Instead, Linda and Alan are taking George and Wilma to Garda's on Saturday and since Glenn is cleaning boats on Saturday and we don't find Garda's to be one of our favorite places, we'll pass and take Linda out for Mexican on Sunday.
Glenn bought me a new digital camera for Mothers Day. K-Mart had a special where if chose a camera from a list, you got a digital frame for free. We have been looking at frames for at least a year, but the cost has been prohibitive. So we got the frame, a new USB memory stick and loaded it up. We look forward to giving it to Linda on Sunday. I sent out a request to June and Sherry for pics to add to the stick with no response, so they'll have to find a way to add pics later.
My one wish for Mothers Day is that Kelly calls me. In our divorce, Mike and I agreed that I would always have Mother's Day and he Father's Day. I have not spent Mothers Day with Kelly since 2006. I miss having her beautiful smile with me. Do I miss the arguments? No, well sometimes, yes. Those arguments showed her bright mind and her commitment to what she felt passionate about. Wish she felt passionate about different things, but I can't live her life. Only she can. Her dad and I spoke yesterday and agreed that she has to live this life, we need to cut the safety cord. She truly believes that she is an adult. Would I want to see her in a dangerous situation? No. If she were to be in a dangerous situation, I would step in no matter what rift it caused between us. I don't think the relationship between her and Jake was the best thing and I voiced my opinion, repeatedly. Hence the rift we currently experience. I would support her in any situation she got herself into. Meaning if she made a decision to do something, I would not withdraw my love from her if I disagreed with that situation. Isn't that what a mother is?
