Mothers' Day 2016

Today is the Monday after Mothers' Day.  I know I should be celebrating the day because being a mothers is my greatest joy.  I love my kids more than anything and am so proud of them.  But - yesterday kinda sucked.  I miss my mom.  I miss the little things - the every day things.  I miss her check-ins.  I miss her friendship and random chats about random things.  I miss her smile.  I miss how simple she was - she wore the same uniform, didn't worry about the appearance or image, but she was the most beautiful woman I know.  She adored my kids and could listen to endless stories about them.  When I sent a video of them doing something - she'd watch it over and over and over.  I miss seeing how excited my kids were to see her walk in the door.  They LOVED their Ka.  I'm sad they won't know her how I knew her.  Miss you mom and think of you every day.
