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.

I'm glad that you had a good relationship with your mom, and that your heart aches for her. It's nice that your daughter wants to be with you and enjoy your company. And I agree. The birth dates are more important than this silly 2nd Sunday in May. Too much pressure to produce cards, flowers and things like that. Really? Are the gestures sincere and full of love, or insincere just being done bc it's "Mother's Day"?
For me, I lost my daughter by her choosing. She told me one day that she loved me and was so happy that this was the closest we had ever been. In the next 3 months, she went from seeing me everyday to absolutely NOTHING. She was too busy for everything. Sadly I had fallen for the lines and the lie. Sadly my heart was filled like a balloon full of joy only to be burst with a nail, left bleeding.
I'm a mom, but you would never know it. I have lots of love to give and share. My only daughter doesn't want me anymore. I look at other peoples' daughters and granddaughters and long for my own.
