May 10, 2020 Day 56 of the Homebound Saga

Today is Mother’s Day here in in the United States.

It will be a little different this year.

The gathering of the family and taking Mom out for a meal is not happening in most of the country.

There will be various meetings online on various platforms. For those quarantined with their mothers, they can hug their moms.

Being a Mom is one of the toughest jobs on the planet. You have to raise a human being to be a productive member of society. You set the example of acceptable behavior. You create rules and boundaries that change over time as your child grows up.

But it is also one of the most rewards jobs on Earth. You get to watch this small infant grow up, become their own person, and take their place in society.

I am proud to be both a mother and a step-mother.

Today we have plans that will happen around the house. I have a video visit planned with my mother, father, and siblings later today.

I am going to enjoy this day.

I am grateful that I am Caroline’s Mom.
