Yesterday I spent Mother's Day w/ my mom at a Brunch in our town. The thing is I lost my step-mom last October. So, they have these ribbons at the brunch. I noticed that the red ones are for if your mom is still alive & the white ones are for if your mom passed away. I only took the red one. I thought about it a lot but never got the white one. I wish I had--my step-mom's memory is still alive but I don't feel the same about her as I do my mom. It is very complicated because my step-mom was in my life for 36 years & I started calling her mom too. So, when I talked to her on the phone or through emails I would say when referring to my mom--My mom did this or that. I always thought it was confusing to me. I guess the confusion is now put to rest. I am just grateful that I had two moms. I had my step-mom to call when I needed to talk small talk & other things & my mom to spend quality time up here.

Not much more to say. I am so glad to have you all to comunicate w/ even when I don't have much to say or when I don't make sense at all!
