My first Mother's day

Dnes je v Anglicku Deň matiek. Myslím, že všade inde je to druhá májová nedeľa, ale tu nie.

Today is Mother's day in the UK. I think that anywhere else it is on the second Sunday of May, but not here.

Ku koncu dnešnej omše si kňaz zavolal všetky detičky k oltáru a dal kažému zopár narcisov pre maminku. Musela som pôsobiť veľmi úboho, tak sama, keďže ku mne prišiel jeden chlapec a podal mi dva z jeho kvietkov. Márne som sa snažila mu vysvetliť, že ešte nie som mamina, chlapec sa len krásne usmial a odišiel. Milé, normálne som mala v očiach slzy. Potom sa pán sediaci vedľa mňa ku mne naklonil a povedal "Gratulujem!".

During the mass in the church I usually go, the priest gathered all the children and gave them several daffodils to each kid to give them to their mummy. I must have looked very miserable because a little boy came to me and gave me some of his flowers. I tried to explain that I wasn't mum yet, but he just smiled and walked away. So sweet, I almost had tears in my eyes. Then a gentleman sitting next to me leaned and told me "Congratulations!"

Môj prvý Deň matiek, i keď od matky mám ešte veľmi ďaleko. Dúfam.

My first Mother's day, far from being mother though. I hope.
