I celebrate Mother's Day in May. I also celebrate it in August. You read that right, I get two Mother's Days because I deserve.
Technically all good moms deserve multiple days of recognition. However, since I live in Costa Rica where the day is celebrated in August, I take full advantage of that.
I grew up celebrating in May, as did my entire family, so that day holds special signigicance in my heart. But I'm not going to ignore the day that was made a holiday in Costa Rica, so I celebrate twice.
Truthfully, the May celebration means more to me but because it's not recognized here, I've always just celebrated quietly with my kids and hubby. And that was always enough for me.
But this year, I finally got to celebrate in a big way and felt the recognition I've been craving since moving to Costa Rica. Celebrating Mother's day in May this year meant so much more to me than anyone could even imagine. It just made my heart happy.
It didn't even have to be a major event, just the effort alone was enough and I'll never forget it.
