Mother's Day

I have very mixed emotions about mother's day. I wasn't always the nicest mom to my boys, I wasn't "there" for them, I worked so much and wasn't the nicest person to begin with! I like to think I am a better person and a better mom now tho. I do my best to be a great Gramma and hope my grandchildren have wonderful memories down the road of me! Someone asked me what Mothers day means to me and I could first only think about how it was when I was a kid. My sister and I stripped Mommy's lilac bush almost every Mother's dayto give her big bouquets of flowers and made burnt breakfast for her. Lilacs always remind me of my mom. My boys loved me and gave me cards every mother's day, even burnt breakfast in bed! My mom is gone now but I know she watches over me. Happy Mother's day to all the wonderful women in my life who in any way mothered me!!
