Just a few days after Mother's day this year will be the first anniversary of my mother's death. I haven't really made up my mind how I will commemmorate this, but I am thinking of having a long private conversation with my mother, as I really do believe I can still talk to her.
Right on Mother's day is also my and DH's 1st wedding anniversary. We are having a special dinner.
DH will go over and have his own lunch with his mother. His whole family has decided that I do not need to participate in the family's celebration of mother's day this year, which is OK by me. I don't think I need that this year.
My mother, myself, and my 3 children will all be going out to dinner. It's sort of a family tradition at our house. That way neither mom nor myself has to cook on "our" day;)
I guessing I am getting breakfast in bed. My husband told me not to get out of bed tomorrow, lol. I love my kids so much there should be a day honoring them!
Well this is my first Mother's Day without my mom too. She passed away in September. She was very young, 43, and I feel so cheated. So today was hard. My dad, brother, nieces, dh, and my boys went to the cemetary to put some flowers and then we went out to eat. I don't think any of them told me happy mothers day. DH told me this am at like 7, when I didn't even want him to talk to me(I wasn't a morning person before seroquel... now it's much worse). Then we came home and I cleaned house. My mom was always the one who made me feel special on Mother's day and now she's gone. She always remember how important it was to tell me happy mothers day, We had 3 miscarriages and then a baby boy that was stillborn and a baby girl that lived for 4 days before we were able to get our healthy 2 baby boys here... and she always made it special for me when my heart was breaking. Now it's breaking all over again, without her.
Gosh, I'm sorry I'm such a sap. Bad stuff happeneds to everybody. But thanks for listening. HUGS and happy mothers day to you all!!!!
She really was a special mother. And Mother's Day was hard, but I managed to survive..... with little triggers. It was a lot like every other day, and I'm so thnakful to have my two boys that they help me make it day to day. I do feel cheated... I hate that I feel that way. But she didn't take care of herself and I'm almost angry at her for that, becuase even though she had problems, she was the best mom and friend. I still need her everyday. Maybe one day those feelings will change, but until then I'll feel like a 2 year old, kicking and screaming for my momma, and how it's so not fair. I'm lucky that she was such a great mother, and I did get to spend 25 wonderful years with her, and that's more than some people get.
So thanks for the extra hugs!! I hope all is well with you. Take care! HUGS!!!

I know this 1st Mother's Day will be an especially hard one, but it will get easier.

I can sure see where Mother's Day would be rough for you, even without having to deal with your Mom's loss.
Thanks Marci,
