14.1

Mothering Sunday – a day of mixed feelings every single year.

For a long time Mother’s Day was so tough – I was desperate to have children and it just was not happening. Then finally The Little Mister came along and I had one glorious Mother’s Day where I was just so happy with life. I had a lovely baby, we had just moved into our house and we were just up the road from Mum.

14.11Then Mum died and Mothering Sunday became a horrible reminder of what we had lost and the very profound absence of her in our lives. I only really had one Mother’s Day which was a real celebration.

Time has moved on now though and I have made my peace – now Mothering Sunday is a lovely day to celebrate. I have two beautiful children and I was so lucky to have such a wonderful Mum for so many years. Whilst I had a moment of feeling a little weepy, mainly it was a day of happiness.

At lunchtime we went out with Dad, my sister and brother-in-law and the kids. We had a lovely meal and I think my sister is a brilliant Mum and it was great to be able to share the day with her. Without a doubt we know that Mum would be massively proud of us – she might not agree with all our parenting decisions but I am sure that she would support us and be there for us. She would have adored the grandchildren and they would have adored her. I wish they’d had the opportunity to know her and experience the unconditional love and fun with her that Louise and I did.

I hope that everyone who finds today tough as managed to find some peace and rest somewhere in the day. I know it is a hard day. Much love xxxx
