Well - Mother's Day came and went. The two days before Mother's Day were harder for me than the actual day was. The anticipation. Going to the Hallmark store to find Mother's Day cards for my sisters, mom, sister-in-law, mother-in-law. There were lots of cards for "1st Mother's Day". I was walking my dogs last Saturday and just felt a wave of sadness. Sadness that I will never get to see Marco smile as I sing "Do Your Ears Hang Low" to him. The actual day though...it was as good as it could have been. Bruno got me some beautiful flowers. Also, my mom sent me flowers which was just so nice. I had brunch with my mom and sisters and then went to an awesome party at my husband's aunt's house (they're Bolivian - so they really know how to party)! As I was sitting on their deck listening to one of their relatives play beautiful spanish songs on his guitar, I looked up at the sky and really just felt at peace. I'm trying to move forward - but I'm finding it difficult to do since I've been unable to try to conceive again due to excessively long cycles. I feel like I'm just kind of stuck...suspended. I'm working on it though. I'm going to see my doctor next week to see what she thinks. I've also made an appointment for acupuncture next week (first time trying it...I'm excited). So, here we are. It's Saturday. I already had a little cry...but now I feel better and am ready to move on with the day. It's absolutely beautiful outside. I have my husband and my dogs (picture below :) ). We're going to make the most out of this day. Here's to the process of moving forward...it's a journey!! :) Marco - buddy...I miss you...I love you. You're in my heart always.
