I have already been crying buckets because of mothers day, including a break down at church last Sunday. I know this weekend will also be a bear. So, I decided to share this with friends and family. I didnt write it, but my heart could have.

I wanted to share in case any of you needed to share it with friends and family too.
Re: Post about mothers day
I want to plaster this everywhere.
Someone just told me I wasnt allowed to hate/avoid mother's day b/c it wasnt fair that I was ruining it for all the other mothers out there. And "ruining" it for my mother, yeah she is grieving the loss of her first grandbabies, I'm sure I'm not ruining it....

Oh my word, seriously? That is rediculous. By avoiding mother's day it doesnt mean we ruin it for everyone else. Since when has being single during Valentines Day ruined it for everyone else??
Just because we are mother's who are greiving on mother's day instead of being fake does not give someone the right to tell us we ruin it for others. And yes, the whole family will be greiving all over again on Mother's Day.
