to my brother in law, Jorge
a short and sweet birthday message to you:
i miss you and my heart aches for your absence
how can you miss someone you never met?
everyday, pieces of you make way into my heart
you are so deeply loved and cherished, it is penetrating
i am so lucky to be a part of your family, to be your sister
very much like my brother, your aura is vibrant and lively
your presence is never absent from our home
you will always live on within us
within the five of us, the Gonzoulay family
happy birthday jorge!
today and everyday,
we shall live life exponentially for all of us!
we love you!
from my heart to your soul...
i know we shall meet someday
your sister,
Sol

confession of a mother
on mother's day 2014, i'd like to make a confession. here it goes.
i hate mother's day.
there i said it.
yes, i'm a mother of an 8 year old boy and a step mother to 7 and 10 year old boys.
i don't want only this day to tell me i'm the best mom.
i don't want flowers or gifts because the calendar tells you to buy it for me.
i don't need the pressure of having to do the same for all the mother's i know.
i can't go to my favorite restaurant anyway, it's a two hour wait.
i have to spend my day celebrating motherhood, without my two step sons.
i have to share this day with my mother and mother-in-law (no offense moms).
so why is this day so special? it just isn't. and it shouldn't be.
maybe i'm just lucky to have a family that shares their love and appreciation regularly.
maybe i'm just throwing a pity party for a day that i know will not be my own.
maybe it's the disappointments from the years long ago.
maybe it just pisses me off how it's another business holiday, not filled with true sentiments.
either way, i would prefer if this holiday just didn't exist.
i want everyday to feel like i'm a great mom,
because i'm a mom everyday for the rest of my life.
i want to feel like a great mom even on days i suck at it. those are the days i need it most.
i want drawings and flowers on random days. this is so much more specialer.
i want hugs everyday. period.
LUCKY ME, i do.
i am the luckiest mom in the world.
so to all the mother's out there:
happy mother's day, everyday but this one!
you are more special than just on today.
