Mama’s Day

















All week Kid.02 has excitedly revealed he was making a Mother’s Day hediye (present) for me—a necklace and earrings of dough beads—at his preschool. He wanted to give them to me early, but I convinced him to hold back. And he was so proud today when I put the jewelry on and wore it all day.
We went to an outdoor pide restaurant on the outskirts of Our Anatolian City, guests of Kid.01’s class parents. The weather was hot, the kids played on the playground and soccer field, the parents, once again separating men from women at the long table, gossiped and talked business. The only thing missing was a glass of wine, sigh.
Happy Mother’s Day to all those who mother.
