I didn't get to spend mother's day with my mom... again. I remember last year I was in Florida for the NCAA National Golf Championships and one of my co-workers but pretty upset about missing her first mother's day with her mom and daughter... and she was over 40. Meanwhile I'm just 27 and feel like I've spent at least the last four apart. Regardless I hope my mom always knows that my absence is not a reflection for how I feel about her. Our relationship has had its ups and downs, but I can't imagine life without her. I know she held our family together while I was growing up.
Both of my grandmothers have passed away but I can't forget them today. Mommom Wolf passed away in 1993 and even though it's been more than 15 years, I still remember her vividly and appreciate everything she did for me. Mommom Britt passed away in 2003 after a long bout with dementia. It became harder and harder to connect with her, but I will always remember her cooking and humorous stories she brought to our lives.
Meanwhile... I have been blessed with so many women in my life who have made an impact on me. Aunts, sisters, cousins, friends, mothers of friends... countless people who have been a mother to me and countless others who have shown me what it means to be a mother. I can't wait until I can show that same love and support to my own children someday.
Happy Mother's Day to every mother, every mother-to-be and every adopted mother. I love you all.
