Mother's Day check-in
Hi All. Today is Mother's Day.
This day is often a joyous celebration of moms and caregivers.

Moms, we appreciate you! <3
I also realize that Mother's day can be difficult, and bring up a lot of hurt and mixed emotions. If you are in that place, there are 10 tips for making this time a little easier: https://www.apartmenttherapy.com/mothers-day-coping-mechanisms-258601

So, for this week's check-in, can you tell us one thing that you admire about your mom or mother figure? Maybe it is a physical trait, like you're glad you have her hair, or lovely complexion, or love of music and art, or maybe it is something deeper, like patience, kindness, generosity, or determination.
Please share in the comments, if you are comfortable doing so.

@purplelady568I love how you have been so kind and compassionate in the way you have handled Mothers' Day. So many women do find the day fills them with pain and grief and I want to share compassion with them.
Your question also shows your thoughts and I would love to share with everyone my Grand Mother's kindness, she was always able to bring a smile to people. She endured a lot of pain and suffering and it never changed her positivity, if I felt down I would go and talk to her and get a healing cuddle. She was the one that taught me so many things about healing and taking away pain from others. A special lady being remembered at this special time. ❤️
