Mother's Day

The older I get, the more sentimental I get. Or perhaps it's just a greater awareness.

I am hper aware of how fortunate I am to still have my mother; and I wish I were able to visit her more often (especially right now).

I am also aware of how sad it makes me feel to be not considered especially important on Mother's day. Well, I know I did my best. You can't teach emotions or sentimentality; I can remind myself that a good person is an important contribution to society. And I can feel pride as well as love. So maybe that's good enough. :)
