Happy Mother’s Day, Mom.
I wanted to do something special for you, because you deserve that. But you tell me that these days your wants
are very simple. I thought that maybe more time with the kids would be a gift,
but there can be too much of a good thing, and I don’t want to burden you with
the energy and the mess of little ones, and the obligation to be “on” with us. It
feels like anything I could do would just be too much, and yet also never near enough. So, I’m starting this blog to share my inner
life with you, and give what I have to give.
Visit it whenever you think it would feed you, and let time go by
between visits whenever that feels right.
I will never expect you to be here, nor will I know if you have
been. It is as much a gift to me as it
is a gift to you. We children need to
give sometimes too. We need to feel like
we’re contributing to something as big as this.
We need to feel like we didn’t just let the time go by because we couldn’t
figure out what to do.
