I, too, hate mother's day and for a different reason. My dearly loved mother, as great as one could be, died 5 years ago. Mother's Day brings back memories making me miss her even more. My daughter has asked to come to her house so we can go shopping and eat out. She is my pride an joy and her birth date means more to me than Mother's Day. It was the day that I gave birth to the one thing that keeps me going. But I'm lucky because I had the best of mom's and daughter. They were and are my stength that has gotten me through life.

My heart goes out to the two of you that didn't get that kind of support. I can't imagine how heartbreaking it is to go through life without that support. I hope you can get out and forget what day it is and enjoy yourselves. You deserve it.
