Mothers' Day

Today is Mothers' Day and it has been bitter sweet for me. I have felt quite well today, even though I got very little sleep last night. I just seemed to toss and turn, perhaps because I realised it would be the first time since I became a Mum that I have had a Mothers' Day without my children around me. My son is living interstate and my daughter and granddaughters in America.

My own Mum died 4 years ago, so this afternoon one of my sisters and I went to the Cemetary, to 'visit' our Mum and attend a special Mothers' Day service. It was sad and yet very comforting.

Tonight I feel quite drained emotionally but hope that I'll be feeling OK tomorrow. A well documented side of M.E. is that emotional stressors can be as debilitating as physical ones.

The days are counting down and there is still so much to organise for my trip.
