Back On Track Together
Friday Reflection
Happy Mom's Day to BOTTers whether you are a mom, grandma, aunt, cousin, sister or whatever capacity you are. It could be to a baby, grown "child" or a baby that walks on all fours and is furry to a goldfish.
This is a joyous weekend for me because we celebrate Mom's day all weekend long. Yep, I milk it for as much as I can!!! I figure I've got two sons so why not celebrate for two days?!
It is also a bit of a sad time too. I don't have the mother that I wish I had and needed. I wish our relationship were very different. I've spent a lot of years wishing for things to be different. Recently through insights of my own, I know that it will never be what I'd hoped. It is what it is.
However, I am a good mom so who better to get those feelings of nurturing, love and care than from myself. Because of the mother that I had, I have become the mom that I am to my own sons. I've made it a priority to give to them what I never had but desperately wanted. As a result, I feel as a mom I've made lemonade from lemons.
Family can be people that you share the same DNA or it can be with people that you choose to have near and dear to your heart. If those people are the same, then great. If you've made a family of your choosing of people that you don't have the same DNA, it is still a family. What makes a family are the feelings, care, nurturing and love that you share.
I am excited for this weekend. I get to spend it with my husband and sons dedicated to having fun together. I don't know what they have planned but it really doesn't matter. Having the family that I always wanted as a child and now have as an adult is the best gift of all.
Happy Mom's Day to all!
Hugs, Cathy
