I don’t really like the title of my blog but here’s what’s on my mind.

Mother’s Day is coming up this Sunday and this is the first time that neither of my children will be with me. My daughter is across the world working in India and my son is a lot closer but working hard heading into finals. I am super proud of both.

Don’t get me wrong. I know that I will have a lovely day spending time with my own mother, my sister and her family. I know that I will hear from both of my kids, that they will make me feel special in their own ways and that they have already picked out a terrific gift.

But they won’t be in the room with me and so it just won’t be the same. And that’s what is on my mind tonight. WhatsApp is just going to have to do the trick this year.

Wishing everyone a wonderful and Happy Mother’s Day.
