Mother's Day for me.

 Mother's Day.  One of those days that are both Happy & sad.
 A happy day thinking of all the wonderful things that my own mom  has done for me since I was a child and that she continues to do.  It also reminds me of how grateful that I am to be the mother of 3 wonderful children.
But with that happiness, comes feelings of inadequacies, guilt, & shame.  I have been both a failure & success.  I think of the 
'would a- could a- should a 's.
With that being said,  I still have today, to try to be the best mom, and Grandma.
I'm grateful for second chances.

Even David's doodles are pretty. He's got a gift in art and drawing.

I received a little card similar, from him. Made me happy.

Mothers Day can be bittersweet in many ways. I appreciate your positive attitude, regarding second chances.

I was pleased to receive a Mother's card from David, too. I will be looking for more of his art. I am a very lucky mother and grandmother to have and to love my daughters,their husbands, all of my grandchildren and great grandchildren. My loving families keep me going.
