Happy Mother's Day

To ALL the mothers on here, let me be the first to say it. I guess considering your situations it might actually be ironic to use the word “happy”. I hope you get some flowers or at least a card from somewhere.

At 8:15 am this morning I am traveling 120 miles up north to visit my mom. Me and my two sisters are going to give her a Greek brunch, she’s 100% Greek and I’m half Greek. Last night I baked a batch of Greek butter cookies for today.

Some of you guys are probably under appreciated for all that you do for your kids but I hope this tiny “shout out” gives you at least a flicker of brightness. In the beginning of my disease I blamed my mom for it.We had some ugly confrontations. But I eventually saw the light and realized she was a good mother who had her own difficulties in life and she did the best she could with me and that she loved me and was actually trying to help me. Once I realized that, my recovery got a lot smoother.

I hope it turns out that way in your lives too for you and your children.

me too nick. I also blamed my mom but am growing out of it thank goodness.

happy mother’s day to all of you mothers here.

it’s nice to get recognized by our children. at least once a year.

I suppose it is a good lesson to us to do the same for our own moms.

Thank you for the wishes. I am celebrating by paying for dinner for my daughter and myself at a Mexican Cantina. She is 22 and just graduated college on Thursday . That was really my Mother’s Day present-to see her succeed .

My mother died a little over a year ago. It happened after a long illness with Alzheimer’s. I sometimes reflect on the things in me that are worthwhile and that she gave me. I didn’t always show my appreciation while she was alive.
