Yesterday, Today & Tomorrow

You Make my Heat Sing done with Designs by TerrellS Joyful kit is a photo of my "baby" David and me holding my cat Lotus Blossum.
A Mother's Love done with Designs by TerrellS Joyful kit. I've always loved this photo of my DIL Dawn holding her first born, Derek.

Today is Mothers Day and I've done my tribute as a Mother and not a child. I did two LO's of my Child or for my child. The top LO is one of my favorite photo's of David and me and the bottom LO is a wonderful photo that shows a Mother's love. It has such warmth. There's something about holding your child close in your arms.

I think back and I can't remember being held like this though I must have been, I'm sure. I know I have no photo's of it. But then I remember always holding David just like this, but I too have no photo's of it. I can remember the joyous feeling I had holding him, I used to sit and smell his little head LOL, I loved the smell of him. ( Most of the time,LOL) He was my miracle child as I had been told after a few miscarriages that I probably would not be able to have a child. I was always in wonder of that miracle and so grateful to be so blessed.

One thing I have been sad about is I was never brought up to show certain emotions. There was a certain air of reserve in my upbringing. The words "I love You" and the hugs were not shown. You knew you were loved by the actions around you but sadly not enough hugs and words. As a daughter I don't think I held my Mom enough and said those words, I know I did more so at the end but I wish I'd done it more. Know I know my son loves me, (he shows it) but you know, I'd love to feel his arms around me and have him say... I love you Mom.

They are words not said enough. You can feel the love but we need to hear the love too.

Today I will patiently wait for my child to remember what day it is and to hear those words.

Happy Mother's Day, Mom, I love You.

You know what? I can't call my Mom but I hope she hears me. I love you, Mom. I haven't forgotten all you have done for me, and I know you loved me. Every LO I do holds something from you. "wink"
