Happy Mother's Day! Whether you are a biological mom, adoptive mom, foster mom, Godmother, motherly, or have a mother, I hope you found a way to celebrate today! For those of you for whom today is hard, because of infertility, loss of a child, loss of your mother, or an unhealthy or unhelpful relationship with your mother, please know you aren't alone, that you are loved, and I hope today wasn't too painful for you, or if it was you had a good support system. My prayers are with you, and I would give you a hug if I could.
I am extremely grateful for the moms in my life. My mom, my mother-in-law, my Godmother (who is also my auntie!), the moms of my nieces and nephew (one of whom is my seester!), and lots of mothering-types who have been there throughout my life. I am thankful for each and every one of you.
I was a terrible daughter today, though. I did at least call my mom today. But, I have a gift for, have had it for months...but haven't sent it to her. I wrote her a poem...but haven't finished it. I feel like the kid in Mercer Mayer's book Just For You. Hopefully mom still loves me in my failure (actually I know she does, it's one of the reasons she is awesome and I am lucky). I will try to do better in the daughter department, though.
In the meantime, here are some shoes to celebrate the day:
Yum! Neither the dragons nor the puppies thought to get me lollipops with shoes on them. Silly babies. Oh wait...that's just karma for my own Mother's Day failures!
This is true. I wouldn't trade my mom in for all the shoes in the world.
I think I've posted these before, but I still like them. I would wear them on Mother's Day and July 12 and January 11 and November 27 and September 25, for a start (those are all birthdays of the people I mentioned above).
I have no idea why these came up in a search for "mother's day shoes," but they did. They are odd, but I like the colors. I don't think I would wear them, but still, the colors are fun.
So, once again, Happy Mother's Day! I hope your day was full of love.
