Today has been my first Mother’s Day. I have waited a long time for this. It’s the first one I’ve been happy and actually enjoyed. (Well, there was last year, but I was in labour that day and didn’t really get chance to appreciate & enjoy it as a mummy-to-be, as much as I should have!). But I still feel a twinge of sadness.
