I feel very fortunate. Though I don’t live in the same town as the rest of my family, I am close enough that I can visit easily. Today was a “meet halfway day.” I met my mom for an early Mother’s Day lunch.
The last time I had seen her was in mid-April for a quick visit. Today’s visit wasn’t long by any means, but it was enjoyable. We had a nice chat over a leisurely lunch. The day ended with a quick photo shoot under a nearby tree, and then we parted after exchanging hugs. 
Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there. While you may not hear it on a daily basis, you are loved and appreciated. Enjoy your special day!
