i think what was more important to me today was to celebrate my mother rather than my own motherness. it seems that we all as new-ish mother's appreciate our mother's more now than we ever did. i do b/c she had 3 of us all a year apart with a shoe string budget. she had to figure out what to do with us when my dad was not around for those few years. she moved us across the country without support from her family while leaving her steady job at burger king. how much money could she have made there over 30 years ago? she did not have education b/c she was the third in line of seven children and had to help care for her younger brothers and sisters in china to help them get an education. now they are all engineers. she was always the generous and giving soul she is today - always putting all of our needs first... so today will never be about me if i can celebrate my mother first. happy mother's day to my mother - i love you and would be nothing without you!
mind you this picture shows her with her new love - the chunk and his hair is usually god awful when he gets up. but i think she may have cut it a little. she did once to m love and being the hipster cute kid with g-ma cut bangs did not do.
