Happy Mother’s Day!
Yesterday as we were sitting on the porch everyone started reminiscing about my mother and the stories they told were all wonderful. My mother watching Bam Bam when he first escaped and then calling my neighbors at midnight. My mother’s belt buckle story. My mother’s sly green eyes and catbird grin. Mom – I miss you today.
Today, though, I’m a mother and was made one by a little boy who is such a blessing in my life that I have to keep pinching myself. I also have to keep telling myself that as nutty as it is, to have this beautiful, sweet and perhaps talented boy as my son, that it was meant to be, that my mother had something to do with it, that I had something to do with it, that Tatjana had something to do with it, and that even Steve had something to do with it. That I was meant to be Tin’s mother and oh what a difference to me. Happy Mother’s Day to mom, to me, and to T.

I second that (albeit a day late!) . . . Happy Mother’s Day both of you.
