“I tried so hard to be on time this year”

This card came today from Spike.
He was upset yesterday that it hadn’t come for Mothers Day…
It made me feel so so sad that he was upset, and these were his words.

Where did they come from?.

For a long time, many years,I’ve felt that there is so much pressure , social pressure , to “ perform “ on such days..
I’ve always stressed that to me it’s not important, I know what matters and I know how they feel. They do not need to prove anything. They do not need to shower me with material signs.They shower me in ways that are between us, that are priceless.
He’s a strong soul.. very individual.. hope the pressures of this world aren’t impacting him and others too much.. or I am being ultra sensitive.. as he is!!!!
