The Magic of Mothers…

I adore this picture. It’s a mother’s love, shining pure and bright for all to see.
My mother and I have had our share of ups and downs over the years although I’m glad to say they’ve mostly been ups. I think she’d agree that my teens were probably the hardest period of all, probably not helped by the fact that we’re actually very alike. It’s only now – as I’m getting older – that I fully realise and understand this. 
“Hi Mum. I want to apologise in advance for
the grey hair I’m going to give you…” 
Motherhood is one of the hardest jobs out. No pay, on-call 24/7/365 days a year, no holidays. No instruction booklet available, just work it out yourself, thanks very much. It wasn’t until I had children myself that I truly appreciated everything my mother has done for me, indeed what it actually means to BE a mother. It’s a tough gig with not much to show for it at times. 
Heading home… circa 1966.
Thanks, Mum. Seriously, THANK YOU. You’ve always been there, my rock, my champion, my fiercest supporter. Whenever I’ve needed a strong female role model, you’ve shown me the way. All things considered, I think we’ve navigated the mother/daughter seas very successfully, don’t you? Love you to the moon and back. Can’t wait to see you in July!!
I’m looking forward to a relaxing Mother’s Day at Chez WSDN tomorrow morning. On the to-do list is a sleep-in, a cup of tea with my Sunday paper (with time to read it) followed by a lazy lunch and a rugby game to watch in the afternoon. Can’t get much better than that.
Have a wonderful Mother’s Day, dear readers. And big hugs to all the mothers for everything they do. I hope you have a relaxing and joyful day with your families.
 
What are your plans for Mother’s Day? And for those mums, what’s on your present wish list for tomorrow?
