Today was perfect -- as imperfectly perfect as a mother's day should be. I slept late. Woke to a latte made by my lovely husband. I was kissed by my kids; kissed by my husband; kissed by my dad & aunt. The weather was my favorite: a litte cool but sunny. I took the dogs for walks and they smiled all day. We planted flowers. The kids painted on a long roll of paper we rolled out onto the driveway. I saw a beautiful butterfly. I spent precious time with a close friend. I missed my mom. I kissed my kids good night. I held my husband's hand.
I had been happy and sad and full and empty. Mother's Day.
