Of course, that sounds awful, I know, but my mother died over 30 years ago so it's been a long time since I bought someone a bottle of Jean Nate or a box of Russell Stover's. I have a step-mother and a mother-in-law but it's just not the same. They have their own ACTUAL children to make a big fuss.
I also spent 10 years trying to have a baby. Those were probably the hardest Mother's Days of all.
So while I am certainly looking forward to waking up tomorrow morning to a special breakfast or a song and a card (maybe even something chocolate... hint, hint!), I am always a little sad this 2nd Sunday in May. Because probably someone lost their mom this year and misses her terribly and someone else can't seem to make a baby, even though they have taken a vacation or stopped worrying about it or talked to a fertility specialist or looked into adoption. For somebody, Mother's Day is the saddest day in the world. Keep an eye out for them tomorrow. They might need a hug.
