We're keeping it low-key here today which is exactly how I wanted it. Just a little time for the three of us to enjoy together. Some time ago, I read this post about a mother who write a note to her children each year on Mother's Day and I knew I wanted to do the same so Caleb bought me a beautiful moleskin notebook to collect my notes to Hadden. We are running errands, baking, delivering meals and going on a family walk.
I understand that Mother's Day can be a really difficult day for many people whether they've lost a mother or are wishing to be a mother or are alone today because of deployment, etc. Today I hope that someone reaches out to you in kind remembrance and that you draw encouragement from that.
