October 27 Karen, Kev, and I traveled to Mom and Don’s place to do our annual celebration. It always includes three things… candles to commemorate the year, brownies, and mocha almond fudge ice cream (because it’s Mom’s favorite). What are we celebrating? We are celebrating Mom. Mom’s determination, grace, sense of humor, her absolute unwillingness to give in to feeling down or letting something get the best of her. That’s Mom. Fantastic, amazing, and continuing to go about life in a strong and loving way. I love you Mom. I love you.
I think that everyone should take time to celebrate their Mom. Take a day to celebrate the strength of someone (family or not) that is staying strong against whatever it is in their life that is working to knock them down.
I’m visiting my Mom This weekend.
