DEAR MOM' Classy,stylish' you've still got it going on.....Belated Happy Mother's Day: Love Sue

 

Hello lovies’

So last Sunday was the glorious Mother’s day everyone was gushing about and by everyone i mean ‘face book ‘ twitter …you name it’ So the next day there was this placard doing rounds on Facebook’ that said’ I normally don’t tell my mom often how much I love her but when I do…trust me it’s not on Facebook!’ I can bet you a majority who liked that placard were dudes (hahaha’ how original’)….seriously I see nothing wrong with anyone declaring they love their mama on social media….yeah its overrated but so are so many other things…any who whatever sails your boat!

 I on the other hand, am such a mummy’s girl; I put up a picture on the D-day just for the hang of it and am about to put up a whole lot more….lols. Thing is everybody has their own way of relating with the most significant woman in their life, and only you and her understand it. My mom and I have learnt to be open with each other through the years. It didn’t use to be that way but with time I have come to know more about this woman who fought tooth and nail to see me through life.

It will never be perfect , show me a mother  daughter relationship that is’ coz we get on each other’s last nerve a couple of times but truth be told I wouldn’t trade her for Oprah. Not now not ever…. (Best believe)

So setting a day aside to celebrate her, to shower her with goodies’ to make her feel glad to be a mommy, to relish her favorite cake (horribly iced; retreats in corner and hides) lol and to just be with her isn’t a ploy by marketers to get us to splurge on all things ‘mother’ that is so far-fetched….it is a day to let her feel that all she is’ and ever will be is special’ truly incredibly special’

I Heart you mom’ and to all beautiful mommies out there’ Hope you all had a beautiful Mother’s Day’

I leave y'all with an excerpt from the blog ' Every little beautiful piece'
