In my local area, Mother's Day falls on a specific day of the year instead of on a designated (day of a) weekend of a month. And it happens to be... today, of all things. It's a day I've never really touched on because of its variability across the world, and in fact the variability of the relationship in my case. But now, I have a reason to address it, and of course that involves a few Pokémon things attached to them as well.
Every Pokémon fan will recognize Delia as Ash's mom, who as I've discussed may have some connection to the moon. No doubt, she has quite a bit to do with how Ash is and has always been, as depicted in the anime. And even if that's not particularly evident, at least a few things can be discerned from the moments when they're both together and then separate. Many Pokémon fans might just have similar impressions of (and to) the two.
As for my own, I have to say that my relationship has not been quite like Delia and Ash - or to be more precise, similar in some ways but quite different in others. It's a lot more strained and certain moments are not as pleasant, so we tend to be aloof. All the same, the influence and marks are still there; that includes this blog, which stems from my Pokémon dealings, which ultimately stems from my time in the U.S. alongside her.
Then there's "Felitsa" as mentioned in this post's title. Felitsa is the mother of Yanni, an artist I often mention on this blog; in fact, a music piece is dedicated to her by her name as its very title. The name has connections to the Latin word felix, which means "happy" and is itself a name; the same is true for "Felicia", "Felicitas", and others. The point is that there is some element of happiness involved.
Now, though... happiness is cast aside in my case, for I've lost my "Delia" - not exactly on this day, but just a couple of days ago. Regardless, the momentum is close enough on this day that it simply had to be brought up. Even with all the variability involved as per the above, one of the constants is indeed Pokémon... which is why I do think of her as my "Delia", not the least given the fact of my cosplay efforts.
So, on the occasion of this day, it's still appropriate to reminisce, for a lot of my other current happiness does stem from "my 'Delia'". For other Pokémon fans, they might just have their "Delia" of concern - and hopefully at least a little bit of that is also "Felitsa". Whenever they celebrate their Mother's Day, then that too becomes a good day for all happiness that has resulted. For now, thanks and so long to my "Delia".
