Dear Mum,
This past year has been tough for everyone. I certainly don’t think any of us thought we would be celebrating a second Mother’s Day in lockdown, but here we are.
I have learned some things throughout the pandemic that you have helped me with, so I though I would share them with our readers.
- People are not meant to interact with each other solely over technology. While it is a great option, being able to get together with those you love in person is something not to be taken for granted.
- The entire world can change in a minute. Tell people you love them, hug them for that extra second, and enjoy each day as best you can.
- It is okay to simply not be okay. With all of the new rules, isolation, fear and general uncertainty surrounding us, it is okay to not be at your best.
Mostly I have learned that even though we can’t see each other in person nearly as much as we are used to, you are always there. For a text, a telephone call, or even in a memory that sends me into a fit of giggles. For that, I am eternally grateful.
Happy Mother’s Day!
Lots of love,
Jess
xoxo
