This will be my first Mother’s Day without my Mother. We’ve had a number of those “firsts:” my birthday, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Years, Valentine’s Day, Easter, and the return of the egrets. She would have loved this spring, with the glorious array of daffodils and tulips.

\nI wasn’t expecting anything for Mother’s Day. I have grown step-children, but no children of my own. I chose to celebrate my mother, to entertain her and keep her company, so that my sisters could be with their families. That felt right to me.
\nMy “baby” sister sent me the most wonderful card. It talks about our relationship as sisters and the love that we share. She wished me a Happy Mother’s Day. I called her, and we had a lovely long talk. I told her how much it meant to me that she had sent the card. Her response was that she doesn’t have a mother to send these things to now. It really hit home that Mother is gone.
\nI hope that all of you who still have mothers will celebrate with them on Sunday, and share all the memories you have accumulated over the years.
\nHappy Mother’s Day!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
