Happy Mother's Day!

It was a nice Mother's Day. Rainy, but this is Ohio. We took my mom out for a brunch at a state park. It was very good. I filled up on salmon which I love. My dad was a little bummed that he isn't as physically fit as he used to be when we used to visit the park. He had to rest quite a bit as we were walking up a hill. I told him that he does great for someone in his 70s with leukemia and had brain surgery last year. He is so hard on himself. He can walk rings around people a lot younger than him.

My mom enjoyed the day. I always try to do something special for her. She is very sensitive, so I have to make sure to let her know I appreciate her and I do. I'm not sure she realizes how much she is loved. I also thought briefly about my birth mother. Did she think about me today?

I also realize that I'll never know what it's like to be a mother myself. This isn't meant to be a depressive post. I'm not depressed about this. I don't want kids. It's just that on a day like today, dedicated to mothers, one ponders things.
