Mother/Sister's Day

Yesterday was the day to come out of any winter coma I may have felt I was stuck in. You couldn't have asked for better weather. More importantly, my younger brother's college graduation ceremonies were also held yesterday, on Mother's Day. Admittedly, it was filled with the most bittersweet feelings because, forced to be a built-in-babysitter pretty much from the day of his arrival, sometimes I am more his mother than our own.

Putting those feelings aside, I managed to have a great time and turn the accolades into a joint effort. Meanwhile, the remainder of the day was spent with the other side of my family basking in the sun, expending zero energy, with the knowledge that the next day the weather would turn to crap.
