The Special Bunny

"You're tough, Mom."  It was both compliment and reassurance, and also hard to accept. Accepting compliments and care don't come easy when you've put on the tough act for so long. I come from a long line of tough women, but a touch of pampering would be ... well, hmmm.  What would it be? Difficult to allow through my impermeable membrane?

My stress level has been a little high lately. Thanks to sons and dear friends offering me a fuzzy ear of the Special Bunny.

Pampering you (um, not the diaper kind) from afar in my imagination. With love.
