weird feeling

[cellboy]

this is not a boo hoo thing, but as you all know, my mom passed away last June. This Sunday is Mother's Day. I keep feeling I have to be somewhere this weekend (aside from my great nephews 1 yr B-day), then realize it's Mother's Day and I don't. When I did, I drove up to my mom's home, on a yearly basis, but many times I really wanted to stay home instead. Although once I did go up and visit, I was glad I did. I did my good deed. This time I am relieved I don't have to drive up for the day, but actually wish I would have to, even though I don't want to. This is a weird feeling. Not a sad thing, but just a weird feeling.
Well in any case, if you still have a parent, try to be there for them as much as you can. That opportunity may not be there someday.

This is my second year of Mom's Day without Mom, and it hasn't gotten any better. As a matter of fact, it feels a bit worse somehow. I agree that we can still buy the card, mail it off to ourselves even, but the fact remains. I do know, due to my spiritual beliefs, that I can contact her or send a message if I want, and she will receive it. Same way I get messages from her. Maybe I'll make a nice pot of tomato sauce that she taught me to make.

Yeah. I know I can contact my mom too. Mother's Day was never a biggie for her, but I did try to be with her. Of course she always asked if I was coming up (guilt??:) Christmas last year was harder for me. That was her biggest day. She loved to entertain, especially that day and the holiday season.

PS You reminded me. I need to make one of her favorite dishes. French Canadian meat pie :)
