My son’s girlfriend Jill sent me this lovely gift for Mother’s Day. Thank you Jill.

Looking at the words BEST MOM gives me mixed emotions.
P1040663

In the beginning of my career as a young wife, I was very idealistic and had all this imagination and dreams of being the perfect wife, the perfect mother, the perfect person. Sadly, in my own assessment, I failed in all counts, not miserably, not so bad, but not excellent as I have planned and hoped to be. I had many misconceptions about life, had many failed expectations which affected my ability and emotions to perform better as a wife, as a mother and as an individual. I wish I had done better.

When my children give me notes, flowers, gifts, hug me and kiss me, I somehow feel, maybe I didn’t do bad after all. Maybe in their eyes, I was and I am a good mother.
