This Sunday is Mother’s Day.

I must admit, I have not always enjoyed a good relationship with my Mother.  As a sensitive child, my traditional Catholic mother just wasn’t sure what to do with me during my tearful younger years.

Fast forward to today, and I enjoy a good relationship with my mom.  She is happy to be in my life and I enjoy spending time with her.

Since she is in her 90s, her ability to interface with the world is limited.  I am sure that has impacted our relationship now from where it was in the past!

Regardless of your circumstances, I hope you are able to spend Mother’s Day with either your Mother or your children.
