I think when you are younger you don't really appreciate your mother. You don't realize how difficult a job it is and all the sacrifices that are made. Now that I'm older, and a lot of my friends are mothers, I have have a much better appreciation and understanding.
I took some pictures of the flowers in my yard this past Monday and chose my favorite and turned it into a little e-card for my grandmother. I sent her a card in the snail mail as well, but she loves this kind of stuff so I decided to do both.
Happy Mother's Day, moms. Maybe I will join your ranks one day. Maybe.
Special shout-out to Candice who is expecting her first little one on Monday!
Awwww, thanks. :)
And I'm with you - it wasn't until I started seeing my sister be a mother that I realized just how exhausting and difficult and self-sacrificing it has to be (although I also finally began to grasp the inherent rewards - I wasn't always convinced it was worth it, lol).
