A reflection of who I am and what will be....

Am not a massive fan of "Hallmark Card Days", and would prefer that Mum's / Dads / Grandparents / Aunties / Uncles / Easter bunnies / Santa were appreciated each and every single day of the year.

Earlier in the year (My mum tries to book me in advance), I had accepted an afternoon luncheon with my Mum and Sister for Mother's Day; but last week I realised I had an obligation as a Mum to watch my Toolibelle play in a Semi-Final, so Luncheon had to take a bullet. However, I did hand-make a beautiful card, write a poem, and cultivate some Daffodils for my mum as an apology for non-attendance at lunch.

I got up, staggered around as you would expect of a Sunday morning start at 7, made coffee / tea / breakfast. Helped Tooli put her bag together for the early bus; and then as I sat contemplating a quick coffee before showering myself, my Tooli came in and announced "Happy Mother's Day".

She then presented me with this collage. As I gazed at my "Best of Blips", and re-read my words, I burst into tears. I was overcome at the work she had put into it. She had read through all my Blips - over a years worth, chosen the ones she loved and copied and re-created them in another way for me to enjoy.

As I looked through the ones she had chosen, I realise that my Blip is an outpouring of my love of my Family and my Life. Blip allows me to express my feelings in a way my crazy dancing and singing never could. My choice of song lyrics for titles, never seemed more apt as I re-read them. I don't select them randomly, there is a thought process.

Today's lyrics is from In My Daughter's Eyes. I hope I am, everything that she needs me to be. I know I'm not quite the same as other Mums, but when I look at my Daughter and see the Beautiful person she has become, I know that I must be doing something right.

Happy Daughter's Day Toolibelle. Your Mum Loves You. Very Much X

(And I'm off again).....
