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.
