In celebration of this day…I sought out the strangest image I could find…
Nailed it!!
Happy Mother’s Day to all you hard working moms!
I am so thankful that in the 2 weeks leading up to Mother’s Day, I had the chance and the blessing to heal my relationship with my own mother, which had been icy at best for like 4 years.
It’s on me. I shut her out. I shut a lot of people out. I was at a point in my life where I was hurting and isolating, and in the process caused a lot of pain to those I love - most notably, my Mom.
I feel awful about it, even though she said its water under the bridge and we only move forward from here. I still have some work to do to undo the guilt I feel because it’s still there.
It made saying “see you later” to her so much more difficult (thanks to those who have helped me through this, still working through it) but I’m glad to be a son to my Mom again. I love her dearly. I never stopped loving her.
