Mamma’s Day

A Little Story

It’s Mother’s Day & It’s me and you kid.

Me and you on what is the proudest day of my year: Mother’s Day. 

Mothers Day.

Mamma’s Day.

Our Day.

Violet & Mummy or ‘Mamma’ as you prefer to call me, which is double-cute because I always said ‘Mummy’ but you have your idiosyncrasies and now ‘Mamma’ is where my heart melts.

Last year you weren’t with me on this day and I knew that was ok.

It was difficult.

But it was ok – you were with your Daddy and I felt that was important. 

Now it’s simply me and you kid.

Every day.

You and I.

Surrounded by the people who Love us.

And it is perfect because you are perfect.

On Mother’s Day and every day as it should be.

Mamma’s Day.  

It’s funny because when I first became a Mum I struggled with being seen as ‘only a Mum‘. Paradoxical because my heart was overflowing, I knew I had been waiting for you my whole life. It was the label, the ‘only‘, that I found a little overwhelming.

I have never been good with labels. 

But now I wear it like a badge of honour, a blessing I count every day, like wearing a little gold star on my heart.

Mamma’s Day, to me and to you kid!

There is no other day, season, or personal achievement which could replace the absolute pride I feel today in celebrating being your Mamma.

In wearing my label in neon lights.

Let’s go to the park, go for cake, watch a movie… because it’s Mamma’s Day and It’s Sunday and this is what we Love to do. 

And we do what we Love.

Me and you kid. 

Love is everything to me and you kid.

You and I.

And I Love being your Mamma; with the capital ‘L’ that is for Linda & the capital ‘V’ that is for Violet.

The most important letters in the word LOVE.
