To each and every Mom, thank you!
And have a Happy Mother’s Day!
Wednesday’s child
You may remember I had a birthday this last week. So I am a Mother’s Day baby. Every few years or so my birthday and Mom’s day coincide. I wasn’t born on Mother’s Day but I can’t help wondering how Mom felt on her first Mother’s Day just 4 days after I was born. Was it joy and pride mixed and a bit of anxiety about the future?
Mom would have been 99 in a just few weeks. I kick myself for losing the only photo I had of her in her later years sitting in her favorite chair. If I could find it I’d share.
Once, long ago now, I came home and flopped on the couch like sons are wont to do and watched while she puttered with something in the living room. I was so enraptured by her just being her I must have had an ear to ear grin on my face. She must have felt my crazy gaze because she turned around asked me ‘Why are you grinning like that?’ I couldn’t find the words—a regret every time I remember—I could only bumble out a ‘because...’, but I hope she knew. I miss her. Wednesday’s child indeed.
Whom do you mother?
