Jules in light of Mother's Day...

...I have mixed feelings this time around...

While I am grateful, Alhamdulillah, for the 40 wonderful years I have been blessed with a superbly wonderful Mama, I also feel deeply for my dearest friend who is standing vigil by her Mak's side now, praying and waiting for her (Mak) to wake up again... My heart and thots also go to friends and family who no longer have the joy of picking of the phone and talking to their moms, just exchanging stories of the day...

I have been a Mommy for almost 9 years, Alhamdulillah, and I want to rejoice in this blessing, but my heart is heavy, thinking of loved ones who have to face overwhelming challenges and sadness...

But, being a Mom, it's nothing new, for us to do almost the impossible, most of the time, even if it involves swallowing our fears and our sorrows, hiding our true feelings, and showing only our joy, just to make sure our children and family feel happy and secure. This is what some of my dearest friends are doing now, somewhere out there...

Well, let this be some thot for now, about Moms and the things we do and go thru, I will share more later ya...

In the meantime, a look at Jules' first 2 offerings for Mother's Day 2010 (above). I also made something for a very sweet couple on their wedding day, but I'll share the photos later as there's trouble uploading them now... :)

A piu tardi...
