Brendan & Lori O'Gara

Yesterday was Mother’s Day. It was a beautiful day. My husband and I went to church then to the movies.

We have six children, one very adult daughter, three newly adult daughters and two teen sons.

Did any of the children spend time with me? Did I receive any gifts?

One daughter was home and kept asking me what I wanted to do. Couldn’t figure it out for herself. I just sighed.

One daughter, spending time with her friends, texted that she came home but I wasn’t there. Have a gift but left it at her friend’s house. Headed to work, see you tomorrow. I just sighed.

One daughter, who moved out last week texted. Hope you had a good day. I just sighed.

One daughter, grown with kids of her own texted she was so busy and would call me tomorrow. I just sighed.

The boys? One was with his bio mom and family. The other one the computer at home all day. I just sighed.

Was I supposed to complain? Was I supposed to be upset that I was not a priority?

I just sighed and thanked God they were all happy and living the lives they chose. As a mom isn’t that all we want for our adult children? We want them to be happy and self sufficient. I am proud of them and love them all more than they know.

Still…I was a bit sad.

Love and Light, Lori
