I’m not gonna lie, I’ve been dreading today. This year has included a lot of firsts without Mom and some never agains. Obviously, it isn’t easy. Anyone that has experienced the loss of someone they love, knows what I’m referring to when it comes to this. But Mother’s Day just sucks without your Mom. There is no other way to put it. Especially the first Mother’s Day. Today though, was not bad at all (emotionally). I was shown love by everyone around me and I could not have been more in love with my family.

Today started with an awesome walk with my Step Papa. We did the 2 miles and the weather could not have been more perfect. We had amazing conversation and the time just flew by. I really don’t think there will be a better walk..

We then went to drop him off with my older sister. The hubbie came with because we were going to go to the nursery to buy some flowers. On the way, I just kept talking. Talking and talking about anything. The hubbie made a comment, “She just keeps talking and talking.” My Step Papa said, “I know, she’s happy.” MELT MY HEART NOW.

The universe felt that I needed him to come and visit me. It is ironic how this stuff happens with my family, because honestly, with being able to fly whenever/wherever you want, its very random. He wasn’t suppose to be here until next week and he showed up when he did because it “worked out.” In return, I got the best Mother’s Day possible without my Mother.
