Tia

I know it's like a poof going on in your head but I don't remember when was the last time Spanish mothers shared American mothers day on the same day. I'm Mexican I tell my mother Feliz Dia de Las Madres on the tenth in south and central America. It's funny at times when she tells me but I'm in America so I get two presents. One on the tenth and one on the Sunday it is celebrated here. I'm lucky to have my mom still with us. she doesn't like to take photos so I have to sneak one in there at times. My mother is the friendliest person that I know. She has a way with showing her smile and making strangers into friends. The word mom means something different to everyone. When I hear mom all that comes to mind is her cooking. How she always wants to cook for you. She spends the most of her time in the kitchen cooking. She prepares food just in case her daughters swing by. How her grays show more and more and she wishes she still had the strength to look young. So she does what everyone does today well just about, color their hair. My mom has lived through some hard times and if she wanted to she would tell us her stories but I think she doesn't because she herself tries to forget. One of our child hood memories of my mother was when we lived in Oak Cliff. She would invite our tia over and they would go in the back yard and make donuts for all of us. I remember we'd along with our cousins look forward to us playing while they would make a batch. I love my mother dearly just wish our bond was stronger than what she knows it could be.


my sweet mother

I ran across an ad in a child's magazine. Don't know why I read them when I see one It's not like I could relate because then I think about all the time lost just wondering, the what if. I didn't know there is a group called M.E.N.D that helps mothers with the loss of a child. That today being mothers day some mothers are without their child. I have a friend that lost her child this week and how do you comfort her knowing the pain has to be unbearable. Mothers day can be filled with joy just as much as it can be filled with sadness. With the help of social media we give thanks by showing others the gifts that are given to us but some have lost a mother already or their child. Cherish the small things that come your way. Be it a flower from the backyard to the flowers from the store.

one day they will hold each other

I am blessed to have my sisters in my life to have wished me a happy mothers day today even though I haven't been given that gift. Got a giggling video of my nephew wishing us happy mothers day.....happy mothers day to the best tia in the world. I also got a surprise hand made flower bouquet made with the picture of my first born on it. She has become very creative thanks to this pinterest

it's me and my sisters with my mother and one of our furry babies (Sadie)

On mothers day I wish my partner a happy mothers day because she cares for all our furry babies. She tends to them in ways you would when babies get sick. Because believe it or not they do get into situations that have consequences later. I ended buying her the Big Eyes movie, haven't seen it yet but she is my artist.

To all the friends and family that have wished us a wonderful happy mothers day, thank you. Thank you for including us on this special day. One of our friends said happy future mothers day, who knows by then we'd celebrate happy mothers day to a bottle feeder with diaper changing baby and our flea bathers one day.

With this said I give all the mothers and furry mothers a Happy rainy yet beautiful day Mothers Day today.
