Mother’s Day so sweet and yet…
it isn’t.
Another year has been. Mother’s Day is {bittersweet} for me.
Really, I do love it. I have 3 children who love me and love to shower me with affection for the WHOLE day. Sometimes {if I’m really lucky} they might not even argue for the whole. day. Can you believe that?
Showered with breakfast and gifts especially chosen – really it is almost better than a birthday!
But when I really think about Mother’s Day, I get sad. Sad that another year has gone by without my mum. It’s been nearly 12 years now and you know what? It doesn’t get any easier – it just gets different.
I look at my children and see what I would love to share with mum. She would have loved to know them as they are now. They were only young when she left. Well, Bronte was born 17 days after mum passed away – so it is even sadder that they never met.
Mum would have been so happy and proud to know my children. I know I am. {when the arguing stops that is!}
Thank you my 3 gorgeous off-spring (and Stan my husband) for a super delightful day.

So, here’s wishing that everyone reading this had a lovely, love-filled day!
Photo is of Stan and Bronte – Father and Daughter – on my special day. Love this because it is them.
And here are some photos of my 3 today – not technically perfect by any means but favourites because they show them as they are….

Kate! I bet you can look at those beautiful babies and see your mom. I am sure she made you the mom that you are. I can tell that your kids think you rock, by the looks they give your camera eye. Tell your kids how lucky I think they are to have such a super duper Mom!!!
Love this post Kate. The shadow pic and the one of Z, especially. The love you show and share with your kids is evident in your images and words. To keep your mum’s memory alive is a gift for all of you. xx
