Carnival:
• Post a picture of your mother (the one you most refer to as a mom). This could be your grandmother, your birthmother, your aunt, your sister, your biological mom, your adoptive mom, your best friend, your surrogate mom…Your MOTHER.
• Include a Six-Word-Memoir with the picture describing her/what she means to you.
• Link back to GIMH with Mr. Linky
• If you don’t have a blog you can email your carnival submission to us at pickelfam at yahoo dot com
• If you are not in the adoption community you can STILL enter!
This is a difficult carnival for me…because I have two mothers…and because I feel like I'd be disloyal to one or the other depending on who I chose to show and write about.
Aaaaargh.
Truthfully, while I love my adoptive mother…I'm going to be completely honest here, sometimes I feel like it's because I 'have' to…because I'd appear ungrateful (yuck..hate that word) if I didn't say it. With my natural mother, it's a much more easygoing, laidback relationship…and the love I feel for her is different. It feels more…real…if that makes any sense. And while I know that both of my mothers are real, I have to speak my mind and look deep in my heart to see who my mom is.
My six word phrase to describe her and what she means to me?
"Life has become a fairy tale…"
