Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there --
I have been going dark with my H and just got an email from him this morning and don't know what to say. I want to respond appropriately but don't want to respond in a pursuing way (which is my nature) so any thought about how to respond would be appreciated. Here is his email--
Happy Mother's Day! Nothing has changed my profound appreciation for how you have lived your life as a mother. You are a great mother, of this there can be no doubt. I have some sense of the depth of you commitment and motivation to provide your daughters with the ongoing unconditional love and nurture you were so cruelly denied in your childhood. Your success in doing this is amazing. You have two wonderful daughters who are so loved and nurtured that it would never even occur to them that this is not their birthright. You are giving them a childhood and adolescence abundant in the things that really matter. Your daughters each feel loved, each have many friends, and each is well on her way to becoming a magnificent adult. Our estrangement notwithstanding, I hope that you are able to take a few moments today and reflect on what a magnificent job you have done and to allow yourself a profound sense of joy accomplishment in your mothering of two wonderful kids.
