Yesterday was clearly not how I thought my first Mother's Day would turn out. Although to be honest we did end up celebrating one of the world's greatest mothers. But I also did not want to let the day pass without speaking about it. I did have a moment yesterday morning to reflect a bit on how happy and lucky I am to have such a fantastic son. In recent years I had come to accept the fact that I might never celebrate this day and it was just amazing to have done so. It has not been an easy road and I have struggled at times with being a mother. I spent months thinking I was failing him or was unsure if he loved me. I tormented myself a lot. I now know this is not uncommon and also that he does, in fact, love me and I am a half-decent mum.
Sebastian Henry, I adore being your mother. Unfortunately for you when you get older I may, in fact, insist on you celebrating two Mother Days (there are some downfalls to carrying multiple citizenships)!
