around here
well, my mom is safely back in portugal
she departed wednesday afternoon and landed thursday morning
we’re all feeling her absense
but we’re all thankful for the wonderful month we all had together
the few days leading up to her departure are always such an emotional roller coaster for me that i was completely wiped out yeterday
and yes, i cried
i always cry
and although i try to not always do it in front of Lily, when i was putting her to bed wednesday night, i broke down
she wrapped her arms around me and cried too while trying to comfort me
sometimes i think our children forget that we are somebody’s children too
so i told her that it was ok that i was crying because i missed my mom
because she’s gone
and because mamas need mamas too
happy friday friends
a date night
mother’s day twenty eighteen

Lovely shots! I’ve just back from a week’s holiday in England with my mum, and I miss her too!
