Today is mothers day and I had a beautiful baby girl and in my head, today was supposed to be a wonderful day of celebration. I do want to celebrate for my mom and Jeff's mom and my sister and sister in law who are all wonderful mothers. So many of our friends and extended family have become mothers and it is an amazing journey and we are so excited for them. But today can also really suck for people who have lost mothers or lost who made them a mother.
We went out for a canoe ride on Lady Bird lake and saw all sorts of wildlife (turtles, fish, a swan family with 3 little fuzzy swans, a raccoon and 3 swimming snakes!!!!! Yikes!!). We worked a bit in the garden, the vines are climbing and the Isabella rose is about to have 5 new blossoms and hopefully we can beat the birds and squirrels to our first few blackberries. In many ways it is a regular Sunday but there is just something missing that makes me ache, and makes me sad, and this is not how today was supposed to be.
