So, my sister and I were losers yesterday. We woke up and lounged around. Mom was wandering about gathering her things and getting ready to go back to Vermont after being here for my sister's college graduation. As the day wore on we noticed she was rather glum. We asked her why and my sister answered for her because as soon as we asked, we knew- because we didn't do anything for mother's day. Well, needless to say I felt awful. I had thought all week about what I was going to do and then with the excitement of the graduation on Saturday and spending time with everyone, I forgot and totally dropped the ball.
Even though I feel bad, and I know that "I'm sorry" and a "Happy Mother's Day" won't cut it because it's too late, I hope that she will realize that I am thankful for her every day- not just on the day designated as "mother's day." She is not only a mother, she is a friend. I'm so glad to have her as a wedding consultant and as a life consultant. She has acted as a role model and a representation of strength throughout my life. I hope that when I become a mother that I can be like her- caring but not (too) overbearing; wise but able to stand back and let me make my own decisions; right there through the thick and thin, always supportive.
So, even though I didn't say it yesterday, I hope she knows that...
I'M SO GLAD SHE'S MY MUM!

You are forgiven. But you were forgiven yesterday.....I love you very much! You aren't a loser. You are a learner. Only God (and Dad) are perfect. I don't want you to ever feel obligated to say thank you. That said, I truly appreciate your words of appreciation. Wait until you get the wedding consulting bill! I'm glad I'm your Mum!
