Laying here thinking about Mother's Days from the past. Once my "significant other" was asked what he got me for Mother's Day. He simply replied that I wasn't his mother & didn't see why he should get me anything, not even a few nice words to tell me happy Mother's Day. I've been a mother for 16 years & thinking about all of them...hearing that is what stands out more than anything. Not saying that Mother's Day is bad for me because of that one year...just that hearing that was very hurtful.
Mother's Day is a day to appreciate all the mothers in your life. Your own mother, your wife or girlfriend, your sisters, grandmothers, aunts, friends...any mother. Mothering is hard work. Let them know they are appreciated. Let them know you care. And try to not say anything stupid.
