The article reflects on the author's past Mother's Days, characterized by a lack of recognition and appreciation from her husband. Post-divorce, she took charge of her celebrations, planning a fun-filled day with her kids at their favorite cafe and a national park. This self-directed approach shifted the day from one of frustration to joy. The unexpected arrival of gifts from friends further enriched the experience, highlighting the importance of self-love and initiative in defining one's celebrations, particularly after personal changes.
This year, I planned a day that I knew my kids and I would both love: a stop at our favorite cafe for burgers and milkshakes.
It was kind of like when your husband leaves on a work trip, and you think it's going to be hard to get by without him, but then it's actually much easier.
