My sister received this set yesterday as a (VERY) late Christmas gift.  It smells like the sweetest candy.  I think I’ll be stealing some from her.

I’m feeling super in love today!  Is it the season, or my boyfriend, or both?!  Whatever it is, I don’t want this feeling to end.

Mother’s Day is coming and it doesn’t feel the same as all the others.  As I mentioned in a previous post, my boyfriend’s mother died 3 years ago.  This is the first Mother’s Day that we will be celebrating.  I don’t know how to handle it.  It’s sad for me, but I’m sure it’s even harder and sadder for him.  I think I’ll just keep quiet, but I’d like some suggestions.  Maybe there is something I can do to make it seem not as sad, I don’t know.  If anyone has any suggestions, please feel free to let me know.  Thanks!
Oh shit!  Looks like breakfast!

“I hope to be able to be all of these things to my children, and to be the kind of mom that she was and is. I miss my mom when she’s not around, or when I haven’t talked to her in a while. I want her opinion on my life, decisions, and problems, and I know I can tell her absolutely anything and she won’t stop loving me. I love her because she loves me. I don’t think I can separate the two.”

Mom, I love and miss you.  You brought me up to think independently (even if it wasn’t the same as you), and make choices that helped not only myself, but those around me.  You’ve made me into the man I am today, and you’re with me wherever I go.  Through your toughest of times (breast cancer, loss of job) I’ve been there for you, because I know you’ll always be there for me, no matter how low I go.  And today?  You’ve supported me when I’ve told you I might change my plans altogether, and supported me in taking a surprise trip to Grand Cayman Island.  You’re with me wherever I go, and I’ll carry you in my heart long beyond your years.

Had to reblog this because it made me cry the instant I saw the word ‘Mom’.  Brendan’s (my boyfriend) mother died about 3 years ago, and him being one of the most important people in my life, it effects me too.  To know that one day she was here, and the next she was gone.  I know that my boyfriend is hurting inside because of it, but I think he has grown strong from it, and in a way, has accepted her being gone.  He first told me that she had died on our first date, and I had to look away because tears came into my eyes.   It’s hard for me to realize that I won’t have a relationship with my boyfriend’s mother, but it makes me appreciate the relationship I have with my mother.  So mom, I love you.

Happy Tuesday.

Just got back from New Jersey.  Unfortunately, I’m the worst when it comes to bringing a camera with me to events like my best friend’s wedding.  I will try and scrounge some up from my friend and other people that were there.  Hope everyone has a great day!
