Dear mom Happy mothers day #7

       Mother's day is on Sunday the 8th of 2016 this year. Caleb is 13 now. I bought him his first Bible. It's a brown leather one. I can teach him how to use it. Cause what is great about the Bible is it is a book you do not have to read in order.

  Something's I have been learning about myself I wonder how much of me I am like you? I am realizing I do not take constant criticism well. I am a very sensitive person. It is one thing if people are critical once in a while but on going it gets over whelming & then I feel as if I can never measure up to certain expectations. I also love my animals very much. I remember when you did not want us to get a dog but my dad did still anyway. I get very defensive if people complain about how much I talk about my pets or about how much attention I give them. I think my dog grew on you. I remember my grandmother always has pets or almost always. I saw pictures of her when she was younger with collies. Maybe I get my enjoyment of that from her.
   I can not stand scary movies. I watched It a couple of times when I was younger but I am very sensitive to what I watch. That is one other thing I am learning about myself as a highly sensitive person. I can't help but wonder what you thought of scary movies?
    I often wonder what we would do together if we celebrated mothers day? Would we go to the movies & see something inspiring or would we go to the park? I have learned I have a bit of a sense of adventure even if it is not extreme. I know you had health problems so long hikes probably wouldn't be your thing. I remember one year getting you a candy rose. Things get so fuzzy with those memories sometimes.
  I also wonder what kind of relationship we would have? I wonder if we would be close & silly almost like sisters or if it would be very serious. I know my grandmother was very serious and of course she was nice. I try to be silly with my son. I don't do a very good job of not taking things personally hence more of the issues of being highly sensitive. I do my best to have fun with him. I think this year my little family is going to El maguey for lunch. It's a nice little Mexican restaurant. I wish you a happy mother's day in heaven. I do know you are in a better place!!!

Love, Wendy
