It's Mother's Day

As my life changes, holidays take on new meanings each year. This year, I find myself with new thoughts of the meaning of mother's day. I get to celebrate the wonderful mothers in my life, my mom and my grandmother Frances, just as I have since I was born. I've have had over 30 wonderful mother's day celebrations. My husband, has to celebrate mother's day in spirit, as he lost his mother in 2008 (and his dad in 2005) and his grandmothers long before I met him in 2004. She hasn't seen our wedding pictures, heard the story of the engagement, celebrated with us, and been able to tell me all the things I should know about marrying her son. However, my mother got to partake in everything. And, David calls my mom his mom, which I think is very sweet. I'm glad he feels comfortable with both my parents so they can watch over both of us here on earth. However, I'm sure I speak for both of us when I say I wish his mother was still with us to celebrate Mother's Day.
