[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 270782, member: 3907"] Alley-oop! Jumping on the bandwagon too. HATE mother's day. My darling Grandmother, who was truly the only mother I ever knew, has been dead for 28 years now. Sorely missed, but she's the one I would want to honour on Mother's Day. Instead, I grieve for her. difficult child-mom, who resented my existence since she got the positive pregnancy test...haven't spoken to her in years, and don't intend to start now. Little easy child is a sweetheart, and usually takes great pains to make me a card and a present for Mother's Day. He's the only one who acknowldeges Mother's Day for me, and I treasure each object dearly. difficult child and Step D don't bother, and don't notice. husband is busy celebrating the day for his own mother, and doesn't think it's appropriate to get something for his wife. Um...the mother of his children. Carrying 2 of them right this moment... I grieve for the 7 or 8 miscarried babies (lost count because it became too traumatic to keep score) that I will never know, but who still live in my heart. brother in law and sister in law don't have any children of their own, so they're a bit removed from the whole concept of motherhood. Like husband, they celebrate for their mother. We usually have a big celebration for mother in law. She's a darling, she's 85, and she deserves every minute of the party thrown in her honour, but not once during any of those celebrations over the years has anyone ever said, "Oh yeah! Trinity, you're a mom too. Happy Mother's Day." So I smile and smile, and pretend it doesn't hurt. But it does. Like a knife to the heart. [/QUOTE]
