I don't know if it's because this is my first year not living with my parents, or our new routine of walking together every Wednesday, or just the fact that she is the greatest woman on the planet and i am finally maturing enough to notice this (yes, that's probably the reason) but this mothers day was the most special to me to date.
I planned a whole day for Mama Belle and I, beginning with a special mothers day church service and soups and wraps for lunch. We spent a few hours walking around our local garden shop as I soaked up everything she knows about gardening and planned what I should plant for my first summer. Then we went for walk around the lake, and had planned to part our ways from there when we got a brainwave- the perfect way to end a girly day together is a sappy romance movie (the vow, of course), pizza, icecream and popcorn.
Love you mom. And all the mothers, grandmothers, mother figures and mothers to be out there - thank you for all that you do. I know it's a long ways off, but I am looking forward to when I get to join that group myself.
