I wanted to send some Sunday love today, because I know today is a trigger day for a lot of IF Islanders. While I'm ever grateful to be able to partake in Mother's Day (which basically means shoving pancakes in my face and not doing any dishes), what I think about more is all the years I spent avoiding this day. Even on the other side of the madness, today is really just another Sunday. But for me it's a reminder of how hard past years were, like 2013 and 2014-- and the years before too. And also a reminder that circumstances can make a 180 degree turn in a moment.
Sending lots of love to the many mother's out there and the many mothers-to-be, and the many mother's who have experienced loss. I actually learned recently that Mother's Day was originally created to honor bereaved mothers-- Hallmark just couldn't capitalize on that kind of holiday. I know several bereaved mothers and send them an extra shot of love this Sunday.
Maya, thank you so much for being so mindful! We are still in the battle and its great to have support. Happy mothers day to you! I hope you had a wonderful day with Momo.
