Mother's Day
Today is Mother's Day. I abhor Mother's Day. My mom died when I was 13. My grandmother still expects me to celebrate for her. I have my own kids now and you would think that I could be happy letting them celebrate me, but it's not the same.
I feel every year that the universe slaps me in the face with the reminder that she isn't here. Like I need a reminder.
I have a cousin that has decided to disown her mom. She says she understands how I feel but excuse me NO you don't. You can decide at any time to forgive her and have that relationship back. You made the decision and you have the power in it. I have no power here.
So here I sit in tears, on Mother's Day, 23 years later missing my mommy.

I'm sorry you feel so sad. I don't know how you feel but just know that the kids and Brian love you and we do too.
