Yeah, it's Father's Day, but...

My mom rocks! I called to make sure she was doing all right, since this is our first Father's Day since dad passed. She said she was sad this morning, but she decided not to just sit at home a wallow. She went to the car dealerships and "kicked some tires", went shopping for a bit, and water sealed part of her deck. Last weekend she went up north to her bff's daughter's wedding, met up with her sister, and had a girls weekend. Last month, she took off to a casino a few hours away for the weekend, spur of the moment, just because she needed a trip.

We're all still hurting a lot, but she's really making a strong effort to make sure she's still living her life. She get's sad (we all do), but she doesn't just sit around and feel sorry for herself. And she's completely aware that this is what dad would have wanted, so she'd not even making herself feel guilty about it.

I just wanted to share how lucky I am to have such a strong, amazing mother. I hope I grow up to be like her someday.
