I had the loveliest email hit my inbox today, from one of my favourite companies, Ethique, and it was all about Mother's Day.

But not what you think.

We understand that Mother’s Day can be a sensitive time for some of us.

Love.  Love.  Love.

For me, personally, I feel really lucky these days.

I have a great relationship with my son, and I have no doubt of his love for me.

But I am secure in our relationship now, because our love and commitment to each other has been tried and tested.

And more than once.

But our relationship weathered those experiences and grew strong, purely because of our Here-and-Now choices and commitment, and sheer-bloody-mindedness, to get to the other side.

However, I know that not everyone is so lucky.

And if this is you, I send you huggles.

Life sucks sometimes ,and if you don't have a Mum that stands with you, it's tougher.

Instead of, Best Friends forever, you got the Ultimate Mean Girl.

The nasty put down's, the malicious words, vicious actions and just plain 'ol fashioned, spite.

And you can put it down to an unlucky gene pool or just fucked up, bad choices.

But either way, I get it.

So I want to leave this with you today:

I hear you.

Kissy hugs

T (she/her) and Spirit
