My heart was crushed.  The next two years it was the same. After that I would no longer go to church on Mothers Day. It never got better after that. 
I also am not a fan of Mothers Day because my own dear mother passed away almost three and a half years ago.
It is too painful of a holiday for me. I try not to think about it.  |
That makes me so sad. I'm literally choked up right now from reading that. I'm sorry your kids don't show you the appreciation you deserve. I have a hard time showing gratitude towards my mom, I guess I am a bit bitter towards her. I am working on getting past what I expected of her as a mother and excepting her as a person instead. We children have this strange idea that parents are supposed to be perfect not realizing that they are just people like you and me. Your post makes me want to show her a bit more gratitude...in your honer! Happy mothers day to you!
