| My sister and Mom trying to console me.... |
Dear Mom,
Another Mother’s Day is upon us, although I don’t need a designated
Hallmark day to extend what’s in my heart for you.
We’ve had our ebbs and flows as life habitually does; moments we’ve been
inseparable and times I’ve imposed distance between us as I’ve struggled to discover
my wings and stand on my own two feet. At these times of aloofness, you
cast a net beneath me with mounted undetectable tethers to hold me up.
As your daughter, I’ve fragmented your heart a time or two when you’ve permitted
me occasions to discover where I begin and you end. During phases of my life, I’ve
separated myself as I’ve struggled with adversity and events of existence
within this world but ultimately, you were at the end of the journey with
outstretched arms.
We share many commonalities cementing the bond between us: our love of
ice cream, sports, board games, compassion for animals and enjoyment of
reading. We have mutual deep empathy for others as well as attitudes toward life,
including our strong relationship with God whom we allow to guide and direct
our lives.
Mom, you probably already know my intense love for you since I don’t need an
occasion to express this to you. But if ever you doubt, I’m glad to nudge
with a reminder-
Happy Mother's Day and I love you!
“The
mother-child relationship is paradoxical and, in a sense, tragic. It requires
the most intense love on the mother’s side, yet this very love must help the
child grow away from the mother, and to become fully independent.”

Erich Fromm

What a beautiful letter. That photo of your, mom, you and your sister is sweet....your sister looks so worried about you.
What a tender story to your Mom. Love the pic.
I could have written this myself. It expresses my feelings and my relationship with my mom so well.
I love that quote at the end.
I learned this on the daughter end, and now I'm trying to learn it as the mother myself.
It's HARD.
Happy Mother's Day Tracey!! Thank you for visiting my Blog. I can't wait to read more <3 Much love <3
Such a lovely post about your mother and how nice that today is not really all the special in that you appreciate her every day.
Excellent quote.
What a wonderful memory!!...:)JP
I loved the quote - yes it is so hard to be a mother - do everything and then let go!
HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY! Love, sandie
This is a very moving, heartfelt and lovely tribute to your mother, Tracy. I am so glad you have such a relationship with your mom.
I don't have such a relationship with my mom, sad to say, but it really doesn't get me down. That's just the way it has to be.
I hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day!
Beautiful letter to your mom. I hope she had a wonderful day. And you too!
That photo is greeting card material!
Happy Mother's Day :)
What a wonderful post.
I hope you and your mom had a great Mother's Day.
Hugs,
Penny
A lovely Mother's Day post, Tracy. I hope your's was a good one! :)
Hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day Tracy!

Lovely post, and that picture is adorable.
Awwww what a precious picture. Being black and white makes it even more special. Hope you had a good Mother's Day. Blessings to you Tracy.
That's a sweet picture and a lovely post, Tracy. Hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day!
Absolutely beautiful. Thanks.
I like your letter. Cards never can express the relationship between a mom and her daughter--it's not always so sappy and sweet, you know?
Happy Mother's day, pally!
That's just beautiful! I hope you mom has a chance to read this!
This is so sweet. In India we did not have a Mother's Day as such. I like the tradition but I always felt that every day was mother's day for me as I could just call her and talk to her until she had the stroke. After we lost her I still kind of talk to her in the air.
Your Mom and your sister look adorable. I can hardly make out how you look.
I hope that you had a lovely mothers day. I felt a little better yesterday. Asthma has been getting the better of me lately. I have so much catching up to do with reading every ones blog. Reading is one thing that keeps me going.
a beautiful tribute...and beautiful picture!
What a wonderful letter this is, Tracy. Just beautiful!
