I know I am technically a week late, but our week celebrating Mother’s Day at the Island is ending today and it is time to head back to Baton Rouge. Have I mentioned I love this place?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We made the decision to celebrate Mother’s Day all week, and I spent it with the woman I love at a place we both love. This was her first Mother’s Day without her mother, and my fifteenth without mine. Another good reason to travel, do something fun and make a memory for Mother’s Day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We talked in the car today about our lives without our mothers. Since Peggy and I started dating so young, she was very close to my mother, too. In fact, during those early years when I was not really a happy addition with Peggy’s family, we necessarily spent a great deal of time with mine. I think the loss of my mother impacted Peggy almost as much as it impacted me, and now she is dealing with that kind of pain again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you still have your mother, love her well. You literally never know when you will no longer have the chance to do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Happy Mother’s Day to all of you! I hope you got to celebrate all week, too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
