I was just thinking about this. There are women that made choices about their babies and I know that they think about them on this day.

So nice to see you and your post again !!!

Short story: Growing up my parents did the best they could but their attention ( thank Heaven ! ) was directed at my younger twin sisters. I excelled at school because that was where my support was...ironic because there I was Italian in an all-Irish school at a time when small town ethnicity was rampant !

Anyway last Winter when my best friend from college was visiting in FL, as she and I were reminiscing about growing up, she happened to say " I never understood why your parents were so cold to you. "

I never gave it a thought until then but she was right. Knowing nothing else, I thought it was normal.

Last summer I lost a close nun friend who had read different documents I wrote and submitted to my college for various projects. She knew more about me than anyone besides my favorite aunt...

When I said I really never understood families when I was in college and got to know how my friends lived, she totally understood. Grace prevented me from becoming a bitter person.

Mothers come in all sizes, shapes, relationships by blood or friendship. I am thankful to have had a precious few in my life.

My niece's email this AM attests to my being like a Mother to her.

I'm not a mother due to health issues when I was just into my 20s. It's something I always wanted to be, even ahead of wanting to be a fairy princess! It's difficult for me but I try to remember that everything has a reason and I believe my story was written way before I came along. I think the most difficult thing would be to lose a child, so I try to think of things that would be worse than never having one at all. Wishing a very happy day to all the mothers.

I would give just about anything to have my Mother here for just one more hour. She is missed.

@SandySparkles - thank you for this beautiful, touching post. So true it is not a happy day for everyone.

Definitely a sad day for me. I lost my mom on Mother's Day 1977. It's been a lifetime without her and no matter how much time passes, it doesn't get easier.

Excellent post! Our moms want us to be happy so I wish people would give themselves 10 minutes to grieve then spend the rest of the day being grateful for the positives. It's a much healthier way to spend the day.

She's closer than you think and you can talk to her any time.

Thank you @SandySparkles for your thoughtful post. My heart goes out to all those you mentioned.

May those who are fortunate to have their beloved mothers physically with them celebrate each other with much happiness and joy.

@udc I am so very sorry for the loss of your daughter. There are never enough words to express the pain of losing a child.

You are not alone. 🙏🫂💐

@SandySparkles Thank you for always seeing the other side.

Thinking compassionately is one thing; actually putting compassion into action is quite a different path.

Hence my siggie. Easy to say, sometimes difficult to accomplish.

May everyone take some comfort in knowing each of you are not alone.

Be well.💐

I am the oldest of 7 siblings. I am not a mother due to health issues. I am an aunt to 12 on my side and 4 on my husband's side.

I was there as the 2nd "mom" to some of my nieces and nephews as their parents needed help at times.

I lost my mother just short of 4 yrs. She was born to be a Mom--from what my father always stated. She loved her family that she would do anything for them and she did in some instances.

While today is sad in some ways --because my mother is not here. But I know she is looking down from Heaven and hopefully proud of the family that she and my dad created. I would love to have her here at this time because of some health issues that popped up. It was always great to have a mom who had been a nurse and wanted to help us thru lifes hurdles.

MY mom was a great mom, but she was over protective. A few years ago I read a quote that essentially said that over protective mothers were under protected as children. This made sense considering mom's childhood.
