Happy Mother's Day to all of you who do like it. My mom died when I was young and Mother's Day has always been a bummer for me. I had no grandmother's. My mother was an only child and I was never close to my dad's sisters. When I was in school, the teachers made us make presents for our mothers and it was always weird to have to work on something and then have no one to give it to. It is very strange growing up without a mother.
Appreciate your mothers while you have them!

the strawberry among the eggs is beautiful though,
How did it taste?
I'm also not a fan of mothers day - my first mum abandoned me and my 2nd mum I am not close to. Now I'm a mum I get to focus on what being a mum and a good mum is and how it's such a joy.
Just another way, in which I march to a different drummer. -grin-
A strawberry! Hoooray!
So Happy Sunday to you and me.
Sweet and tart, giving and loving.
Try and have a good day.

This year, like most years there is a big Art fair that we got to and we each pick out something and buy it for the other. Something that we normally would think was too frivolous.
Sorry that it's such a bad day for you. :( I wish you had someone to take you out and buy you something frivolous too.

Secondly, whoohoo a strawberry! :)
providing all that wonderful nourishing and nurturing food to those who need it!
That you grew up to have such a mothering nature is a fantastic thing. You dote on your children..folks you have never met (me haveing been included!) and as Carole says, feeding nourishing food to folks who depend on a shelter to feed them.
As a little one, I can only imagine how you must have felt during the times in school you describe! I know there are many who lived through such times and it's sad. Those who have terrible mothers.
Whatever the case, YOU deserve to be honored..so take joy in Mother's Day...it belongs to women like you, Joyce!
Love,
Mona
This Mother's Day had a shadow cast over it...the sadest one I have ever had. Everyone tried..and I was so grateful.
