mother’s day 2011 on our end.

08 May 2011 4 Comments

For me Mother’s Day is so directly connected to my mom that when I think of the word mother, I think of her. I know I am a mom now and I do all the stuff required with that title but somehow, in light of where we are and what my mom has done, I don’t yet feel deserving of this holiday. Maybe in a few years time.

But since all of us work bloody hard to make sure we manage to retain some essence of our old selves in the midst of this child raising chaos, I am so proud and glad (and relieved!) to be part of a time when motherhood is something that extends us, not limits us. Happy Mother’s Day to us all.
