My Mixed First Mother's Day
posted 12th May
My day started out great, my husband let me sleep in and woke up when Lucy did so I got to sleep in an extra hour. I got up and got ready for brunch the entire time having morning sickness. The drive to brunch I was still battling it. Finally when we got there, I ate and was fine.
Later on we saw my grandma and then went to his aunt and uncle's house for dinner. Battling "morning" sickness again, I've been way more sick with this one than with my first. So we ate Lasagna which was ok and then this is what turned my mother's day completely around. I had a funeral yesterday.
My cousin's grandfather died on May 9th. His funeral was yesterday and this man was almost like a grandfather to me so me and my husband went to support the family. I cried so hard, I never expected to cry that hard. I watched his wife just crumble saying her final goodbye to a man she was in love with for 47 years. I couldn't even imagine ever doing that, it had to of felt like her heart was ripped from her chest. And then my cousin Casey just sobbed so hard that it took her two sisters and I to help her walk away from the casket. He wasn't the greatest man, he was a drunk....but he was always good to his family and was always a good man to me. I'll miss his dearly and I know the rest of the family will too.
I saw my mommy later on....my eyes swollen and that but it was nice to see her with just me and her and my new little puppy rascal. But yeah that was my first mother's day. My husband got my an excellent card with a gift I wasn't really expecting but I like it.
