Happy Mothers Day.....

Perhaps its strange but I have had a harder time this year than last with feeling emotional about my mom. Even though last year was the first Mothers Day without her, I think I was still in a bit of a hormonal glow after having KJ and maybe just knew I wasn't in a "good place" to have a melt down. I dunno.

But anyhow.....I REALLY, REALLY miss ya mom. Its just NOT fair you are gone. I'm so glad I have been blessed with the opportunity to be a mom myself. Everyday I am struck even more with how great a mother you were when I realize the amount of patience, love and understanding you had for each of us. I wish I could measure up to that. And I wish even more you were here to help me be that mom for my kids. Oh I wish you could see the kids!!! I know you'd be proud.

This was two years ago...the last Mothers Day I had with her.... Pardon the fact that I look like total crap. I had worked the night before but my mom was leaving town and I insisted that I get some pictures that day with her and with Miss E so I got up, threw on clothes and went out for pictures ...(they are a bit fuzzy cause I cropped and enlarged them)...
