Yesterday was Mother's Day... the day for Mothers... my 7th without mine. I missed her terribly... from when I awoke... to when I fell asleep. I just simply missed her. Last year's Mother's Day was devastating without my Ashlie, it was my first without her. This year, 7 years later, I'm again missing my Mom... just wanting to see her one more time. My heart is also aching for my sweet patient's Mom this year. (My 6 year old patient that passed in March of this year.) I, unfortunately, know the depths of her pain... the loss of a child. Something you don't "get over in time"... something you just simply learn to live with.... creating a life without them... a life honoring their memory.... something I have had to do after losing my parents so close together.
The bright spot of my day? My oldest son taking me out to eat breakfast! I had the pleasure of his company, his future wife's, her Mom, her brother, and my youngest son's! I treasure ANY time spent with my kids! I know that I haven't always been the best Mom, but I do know that I put every bit of my heart and soul into being the best Mom that I know how to be. Hopefully, they will forgive my faults and know how much I truly love them. I am so very proud... and so very lucky to have them in my life!
