that would be me... notice i didn't say perfect? nope, plenty of mis-steps along the way but so proud of the woman my daughter has become. beautiful, smart, gifted, funny, inquisitive, compassionate, sensitive....wouldn't trade her for anything!
this is the card i sent to my mom last year. she loved forsythia blooming in the spring, not the neat, manicured type but branches that exploded with color and cascaded down to the ground. it gave her such joy, and i was delighted to find this card for her.

she nearly always felt like being a mother was way above her pay grade, not ever having one herself. she made every effort to be the kind of mother she wished she had. i often told her she did that and more, but it never really squelched that deep down feeling of inadequacy. i am so thankful she is now released from that feeling of failure.
celebrating today? then you are truly blessed. far too many find today painful, full of grief, disappointment and unanswered prayer. this year i'm one of them, along with other family members. so please keep these people and me in mind, say a prayer that God would envelop us with His love and comfort.

I know this is a hard Mother's Day for you -- but, yes, look ahead at your daughter! Hope she spoils you today.
